During Wednesday night’s game between the Houston Dash and FC Kansas City, FIFA Women’s World Cup hero Carli Lloyd managed to score an 85th minute goal to put the Dash ahead for good by a score of 3-2.

Lloyd is undoubtedly on a tear right now (she has scored goals in the last seven games that she has played) and she took the time to dedicate her latest goal to one of her admirers, Kobe Bryant, who had previously defended her on Twitter from a couple of internet trolls.

Well known for his love of soccer, Kobe was very appreciative of the Carli’s shout out.
