Kaka had a goal and an assist and expansion Orlando City SC beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 4-0 on Sunday for the first home win in team history.
In front of 40,122 fans, Orlando City finally held its first lead at home in six games. It has only been in front for 135 minutes on the road.
"I can say that it's a perfect day for us, for the supporters," Kaka said. "They needed this joy. So today is a special day for Orlando City."
Eric Avila's header put Orlando City on the board in the 12th minute. Rafael Ramos crossed a ball to Brek Shea at the far post, who headed it back in front of goal to an open Avila. In the 34th minute, rookie Cyle Larin scored after a nice back-and-forth breakaway with Kaka for his fourth goal of the year.
In the second half, Kaka scored on a penalty kick in the 56th minute after he was tripped up in the area by goalkeeper Jaime Penedo. Then Darwin Ceren made it 4-0 in the 73rd on a deflected shot from distance.
Orlando snapped its four-game winless stretch, while Los Angeles is winless in five straight. The Galaxy haven't won an away game since August 2014.
Zach Pfeffer scored in second-half stoppage time and the Philadelphia Union beat DC United 1-0 on Sunday night to snap a four-game losing streak.
Philadelphia ended its five-game winless streak, while DC United, the Eastern Conference leader, had its eight-game undefeated streak stopped.
Fabinho sent in a cross in the 93rd minute that Sebastien Le Toux let play through his legs. Pfeffer settled the ball with his right and slotted a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Bill Hamid at the near post.
It was Philadelphia's first goal since April 25.
Pfeffer and Fabinho were both second-half subs. Fabinho was the first sub of the game in the 58th minute and Pfeffer entered in the 71st.
"I got myself in a good spot in the box and took a touch and finished it," said Pfeffer, from Philadelphia. "Came away with three points, I'm so happy."
Philadelphia goalkeeper Brian Sylvestre got his first MLS shutout in his second appearance.
