On July 4th, Kaka was dealt the first red card in his 14 year senior club career.

Now, how will Orlando City SC handle playing without their star, who has been featured in all 18 games of the 2015 MLS season?

Kaka has been the driving force for the expansion club in their inaugural season, scoring nine goals and adding two assists, so how will Orlando City SC cope without him?

They will return home Saturday night to the Citrus Bowl, where they haven’t recorded a win since May 17, to take on FC Dallas, who are fighting to get into a playoff spot.

While it may only be for one game, it will be worth keeping an eye on to see how they perform without their captain.
