"I cannot put in words what I'm feeling, the emotions to be back to be playing, to score and win another game at home," the former Brazil midfielder told reporters.

"When I came on the field and all of the supporters clapped for me and were saying my name, it was unbelievable.

"Today, I showed that I'm ready to join the team again and be part of this amazing group," added Kaka, the league's highest paid player.

Orlando (6-1-0) also got its first goal of the campaign from Carlos Rivas who helped the team stay perfect at home.
