Kaká was in Miami on Sunday night as Norway stunned England 2-1 in a star-studded friendly watched by David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The clash at DRV PNK Stadium on 12 July 2026 delivered late drama when Norway scored twice in the final 15 minutes to snatch victory from under the noses of the Three Lions.

What happened in Miami?

England started brightly and took the lead through Phil Foden’s 12th-minute strike, a low drive past Ørjan Nyland. But Norway fought back and equalised on 78 minutes when Erling Haaland tapped in from close range after a scramble in the box.

And Norway didn’t stop there. Two minutes later, Alexander Sørloth turned in a cross at the back post to fire home the winner and send the modestly ranked Norwegians home smiling.

Why it matters for Kaká

Kaká’s presence added extra gloss to a fixture already packed with football royalty. The Brazilian legend, now in his mid-40s, joined Beckham and Ronaldo in the stands as part of a glamorous guest list that included Hollywood stars and business figures.

The friendly was more than a spectacle. It underlined how elite football still draws global icons to the sidelines, even in friendlies. Kaká’s own legacy—two World Cup appearances, a Ballon d’Or, and Champions League glory with AC Milan—places him among the peers watching from the stands.

Who else was in the stands?

Beckham, the former England captain and MLS icon, was spotted alongside Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner and Saudi Pro League star. The trio’s presence turned a routine summer friendly into a must-see event.

Norway’s win also served as a reminder that smaller nations can still spring surprises. Their manager, Ståle Solbakken, admitted after the game that his side had to grind out the result.

What comes next for the watching legends?

For Kaká, the Miami gathering was a rare chance to mix with football’s global royalty off the pitch. His own playing days are long behind him, but his status as one of Brazil’s greatest midfielders keeps him in demand for high-profile events.

England, meanwhile, will regroup for their Euro 2028 qualifiers knowing a summer friendly can still throw up shocks. Norway, ranked 44th in the world, showed they’re not to be taken lightly.

And for the fans lucky enough to be at DRV PNK Stadium, it was a night they won’t forget—even if the result left England’s players staring at their boots.
