Two months later, the Lions defeated English Premier League squad West Bromwich Albion 3-1 with finishes from its three Designated Players – including a highlight-worthy score from Kaká, who dribbled from the half past three defenders to slide the ball just past West Brom’s keeper to open the scoreline.
