Kaka helps MLS All Stars to 2-1 win over Tottenham

Kaka scored on a penalty kick and set up David Villa’s goal minutes later in the first half to help the best players in Major League Soccer beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on a blustery Wednesday in Commerce City, Colorado. The MLS improved to 9-3-1 against international competition in its All-Star Game. Orlando City’s Kaka and Villa of New York City FC are the new “kids” in the league and did all right. Both made their MLS debuts this season and showed their skills in the first half before taking a seat on the bench. Harry Kane (pictured) scored for the Spurs, who open the English Premier League against Manchester United on Aug. 8. Seattle forward Clint Dempsey started for the MLS and took three shots before being subbed off at halftime. Sounders defender Chad Marshall came in at halftime and played the final 45 minutes. – Associated Press
