The 37-year-old also earned his first yellow card late on for a shirt-tug after he was dispossessed in midfield.
It was a sparkling game that New York City FC won 4-3, though Orlando’s Cyle Larin was the stand-out with a hat-trick.
Kaka almost snatched the equaliser for 4-4 in stoppages, but his free kick hit the post.
Instead, the hosts went on the counter to seal it 5-3 with Mix Disgerud.
