MLS: Kaka And Lions Devour Timbers

At Orlando, Florida:

In the lone Sunday Major League Soccer match, Kaka scored once (48') and assisted twice (on Seb Hines' tally in the 13th minute and Brek Shea's goal in the 32nd) while Kevin Molino successfully converted a penalty kick in the 76th minute as Orlando City dominated the visiting Portland Timbers 4-1.

To add insult to injury, Lions goalkeeper Joe Bendik (an ex-Timber) saved Fenando Adi's penalty kick in the 42nd minute.
