With tensions boiling between Orlando City and Colorado on a hot Central Florida day, the first rocket was fired from Colombia.
Carlos Rivas’ blast past Zac MacMath in the 70th minute turned out to be the difference maker for Orlando City (6-1-0, 18 points), which extended its home win streak to five games to begin the Orlando City Stadium era after a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids (1-5-1, 2 points).
Kaká, who returned to action off of the bench for the first time since the 11th minute of the season, also found the net for the first time in 2017 in front of an announced crowd of 25,527 with a goal in stoppage time.
