MLS - Kaka scores in return to Orlando City as Whitecaps rally past Impact [ad_1]

Carlos Rivas scored a screamer and Kaka scored in his return as Orlando made it five straight wins at their new stadium.

Kaka scored in his return from injury and Orlando City stayed perfect at its new stadium with a 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids.

Orlando has won all five of its home games since opening the new venue this season and own the best record in the league with 18 points from seven matches.

 The Lions nearly took the lead in the second minute but Rapids keeper Zac MacMath, starting for the suspended Tim Howard, made a diving save to deny Antonio Nocerino.

Kaka, who was injured in the opening minutes of the season, came on at the hour mark and Orlando took the lead 10 minutes later with a rocket of a shot from Carlos Rivas.

And the Brazilian star added a goal of his own in stoppage time, tapping home after Cyle Larin's shot hit the post.

The Impact started hot, before two untimely injuries allowed Vancouver to score two goals and turn the tie around.

The Vancouver Whitecaps erased an early deficit to earn their first points on the road this season with a 2-1 win at the Montreal Impact.

Montreal lost striker Matteo Mancosu to injury after just five minutes, but Marco Donadel provided the lead four minutes later with a bouncing shot from 30 yards,

But Vancouver equalized 20 minutes after that when Andrew Jacobson sent home a volley from the edge of the box, and Cristian Techera completed the comeback with a good finish in the 79th minute.
