Brazilian football legend Kaka was substituted in the eight minute of Orlando City's game vs rivals New York City in the newly-opened Orlando City stadium. The World Cup winner was replaced by Giles Barnes. The 2007 World Player of the Year lasted on the pitch for only 11 minutes before being called off. Kaka, who scored nine times and provided 10 assists last season for Orlando, is subject to further medical tests on Monday to reveal the extend of the injury.
But he also sent his fellow legend Andrea Pirlo back to Italy with this move prior to getting the injury
