The Brazilian was then brought down in the penalty area by Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Pendedo and rose to confidently drive home from the spot in the 56th minute.
A deflected long-range shot from Darwin Ceren completed the rout, which saw Orlando climb to fifth in the Eastern Conference above Toronto FC, who have played two games less.
“This is a perfect day for us, for the supporters who needed this joy. It is a special day for Orlando City,” Kaka told ESPN.
Zach Pfeffer scored in injury time to give the Philadelphia Union a 1-0 win over Eastern Conference leaders D.C. United.
The loss was just the second this season for United, who have a two-point lead over the New England Revolution.
Some Philadelphia fans had protested against the club’s management before the game but were left celebrating after Pfeffer struck home from inside the area at the end of an otherwise turgid game.
