And Boateng opened the scoring with a sublime volley before celebrating with Barcelona legend Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho and Boateng were joined in the exhibition match by former Chelsea midfielder Mineiro.
Meanwhile Cahill’s team also featured former Aussie international Aaron Mooy and some social media stars.
But his side were beaten 6-3 by Ronaldinho’s side of largely Samba stars.
Boateng became a Premier League cult hero for his time at Tottenham and Pompey – where he won the FA Cup in 2008.
He also enjoyed spells at AC Milan – winning the Serie A title – and Barcelona where they won the LaLiga.
More recently, Boateng was playing his football with Hertha Berlin but left in 2023 and announced his retirement soon after.
Everton icon Cahill meanwhile finished his playing career in 2019 with Jamshedpur in the Indian Super League.

And Ronaldinho has endured some tough years of late, falling into debt for unpaid taxes.
He was also arrested in 2020 for attempting to travel to Paraguay with his brother using fake passports.
Ronaldinho – a Champions League winner with Barca – spent a month in prison and four more months under house arrest at a hotel.
The football legend and his brother were ordered to pay around £153,000 in compensation before being allowed to fly back to Brazil.
