Raquel Benetti, from Brazil, and Alice Fougeray, from France, dressed up as unlikely players to surprise a group of male athletes
The two women are actually professional freestyle soccer players, and were more than happy to show off their impressive skills on the field
Girl's got game: In a new video, two women take male soccer players by surprise with their impressive skills
Unlikely pros: The two women dress to make themselves less intimidating; one wears a sexy red dress, and the other disguises herself as a grandma
Bedrudging teammates: The girl in the red dress asks to play with the boys - and while they don't seem thrilled to let her join, they still say yes
Tougher than they look: One man tells the girl in the red dress (left) that she looks like she's going to the mall; her 'grandma' (right) comes to the rescue after she falls down
Surprise! The two women shock the men when they show them how good they really are, with the girl in the red dress easily scoring goals against the other team
Where'd that come from? Even the 'granny' is good at the game, which she plays after taking out her false teeth
Think fast! Both women even perform tricks with the soccer ball, running circles around the male players
The girl says that she's fine, but insists that now her grandma has to play with her - enraging the other players, one of whom says they are turning the game into a 'circus'.
Total pros: As it turns out, the women are professional freestyle soccer players Raquel Benetti (left) and Alice Fougeray (right)
Not fair: The video notes that while the 2015 Women's World Cup was the most-watched soccer match in US history, female athletes still aren't treated the same as men
Fooled you! As the girl in the red dress, the men mistakenly assumed that Raquel (pictured) wouldn't be a skilled athlete
Think twice, guys: The men also thought that Alice (pictured), dressed as a grandma, would turn the game into a 'circus'
Don't let the heels fool you: Brazilian player Raquel is one of the top freestylers in South America
Show them the money: Despite talented women like Alice (left) and Raquel (right), female athletes earn lower salaries than their male counterparts
So much skill: Alice, who is French, was the first runner-up at the Freestyle Football World Championship
