An equaliser from
Kaka helped
Orlando City to a
come-from-
behind 2-2 draw
at Montreal Impact in MLS on
Saturday.
The Brazilian made it two goals
in four games, scoring in the
30th minute of an entertaining
first half to earn his team a draw.
Orlando sit fourth in the Eastern
Conference, while the Impact
remain winless.
Montreal had looked on track for
their first victory when they
struck twice in the opening 27
minutes, with Ignacio Piatti
making it 1-0 from the penalty
spot.
Jack McInerney doubled the lead
when a defensive mix-up
allowed him to loop a shot over a
stranded Donovan Ricketts.
Pedro Ribeiro dragged the
visitors back into the contest,
putting away a scrappy goal in
the 29th minute.
And Ribeiro helped set up the
equaliser just a minute later, his
pass collected by Kaka and
finished well from close range.
Meanwhile, there were
contrasting fortunes for the two
New York teams.
The Red Bulls went top of the
East after a 2-1 victory over the
Columbus Crew, with Bradley
Wright-Phillips making it two
goals in as many games.
Mike Grella's 67th-minute goal
proved to be the match-winner
for the visitors and the Crew
were reduced to 10 men late on
when Federico Higuain saw red.
Without the injured David Villa,
New York City suffered their first
ever loss, going down 1-0 at
home to Sporting Kansas City.
Robert Earnshaw netted a late
winner in the Vancouver
Whitecaps' 2-1 victory at home to
the Portland Timbers.
A double from Kelyn Rowe saw
the New England Revolution
edge the San Jose Earthquakes
2-1, while Chris Pontius struck
late to see DC United past Los
Angeles Galaxy 1-0.
The Houston Dynamo's clash at
home to the Colorado Rapids and
the Seattle Sounders' trip to
Dallas both finished 0-0.
