2016 Team of the Week (Wk 5): Kaká returns to lead Orlando City over champs

It's been a long wait for Orlando City SC fans to see Kaká back on the field, but they got their money's worth on Sunday night.


The Brazilian legend helped the Lions tear apart the Portland Timbers to the tune of 4-1, with Kaká contributing a goal and two assists.


Brek Shea and Cristian Higuita were also standouts for Adrian Heath's side, with Shea scoring a fantastic goal and Higuita playing the bulldog role in midfield.
