Early on in the match, Kaka smashed one of his trademark world class goals. The most hilarious bit of the goal was one of his teammates asking him to cut the ball back. Obviously, that wasn’t going to happen. The Brazilian, instead sent the ball past the keeper.

Kaka’s shock appearance at the local match comes as a part of adidas Rent-A-Pred campaign, a new Predator 20 hotline – set up to help London footballers in need of a ‘ringer’ for their team.

Speaking after the match, Kaka said:

“We had a slow start in the game but luckily I managed to give the guys the unfair advantage they had reached out to the Rent-A-Pred hotline for.

“I’ve always loved playing in England so it was great to come back again and play with a group of people that love the game as much as I do.”

Adidas also took to twitter to speak about the match.

“Asking @KAKA for the cut back. Now that’s really unfair.

“Rent-a-Pred helps Reach Out FC to a 4-2 win in Haggerston, East London. Satisfied customers.
