Watch: Baptista, Kaka combine to score fastest penalty in MLS history
Twitter/@futbolMLS
Julio Baptista kicked off his starting debut in fine fashion, earning a penalty in just 15 seconds of action as Orlando City hosts the New England Revolution at the Citrus Bowl - the fastest penalty earned in MLS history.
Update: @KAKA's was actually the fastest ever PK GOAL in MLS history. Converted 6 seconds faster than the next fastest

Baptista was bogged down by a pair of Revolution defenders, sandwiched on each side as he streaked into the box towards the goalkeeper. Je-Vaughn Watson stepped on Baptist's ankle, bringing him down to the ground and referee Baldomero Toledo pointed to the penalty spot immediately.
His compatriot and teammate Kaka stepped up and the Brazilian buried the effort with ease to give his team a 1-0 lead.
