Goals from Kaka, Carlos Rivas and Bryan Rochez hand Orlando City a 3-1 win over West Bromwich Albion in their pre-season friendly match.

Orlando City have staged a comeback 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion in their pre-season friendly clash.

The Premier League outfit survived a scare early on against their MLS counterparts when Bryan Rochez rounded Boaz Myhill after three minutes, but Craig Dawson was on hand to clear off the line.

From there, it was one-way traffic in favour of the Baggies, who moved ahead on 14 minutes when Callum McManaman's free kick took a wicked deflection off Aurelien Collin.

It was very nearly two on 22 minutes, but Amobi Okugo was in the right place at the right time to clear Brown Ideye's header off the line.

With half time rapidly approaching at the Citrus Bowl, Tony Pulis's men looked poised to bring a slender advantage into the break.

However, Brazilian legend Kaka had other ideas, marching through Albion's defence before placing the ball beyond the reach of Myhill via the post to level matters in timely fashion.

Within four minutes of the restart, Carlos Rivas flipped the game on its head by powering a 25-yard free kick past Myhill to stun the visiting Baggies.

West Brom came close to getting back into the game when James Morrison latched on to a loose ball on the edge of the box, but his volley went just over the bar.

Orlando sealed their victory in the 86th minute when Pedro Riberio threaded a pass through the Baggies' defence and Rochez slotted the ball past Myhill into the net.
