Real Salt Lake 0, Orlando City 1: Kaka´s men end skid in MLS

Orlando City snapped a four-match winless streak by overcoming Real Salt Lake 1-0 thanks to Will Johnson in MLS.

A heavy defeat to Chicago Fire and draws with Seattle Sounders, Montreal Impact and the former had Orlando struggling for form.

But Johnson’s 17th-minute strike ended Orlando’s rut at Rio Tinto Stadium on Friday.

A Kaka free-kick proved troublesome for RSL as Johnson popped up to smash home the rebound against his former team.
