Ramiro Enrique came off the bench to score twice in three minutes and Martin Ojeda added an insurance goal along with two assists as visiting Orlando City SC rallied for a 3-1 victory over the Columbus Crew on Friday.
Enrique got the equalizer in the 76th minute and the go-head marker in 79th when he redirected a cross by Ivan Angulo, who also assisted the first goal.
Ojeda scored on the counter in the sixth minute of stoppage for his 13th goal.
Orlando (11-6-8, 41 points) continued its strong play on the road where the Lions are 6-2-5 with a five-match (4-0-1) unbeaten streak
The Crew (12-5-8, 44 points) lost for the first time at Lower.com Field this season. They are 8-2-4 but the previous loss was a 'home' match vs. Inter Miami in Cleveland.
The Crew, who have lost two of three, have only three home matches the rest of the season. Of the remaining nine matches, none are against a team higher than them in the Eastern Conference.
After Diego Rossi's penalty gave Columbus the lead in the 66th minute, Enrique entered the next minute.
He tied it with a header at the six-yard box from a cross by Angulo then followed with a run down the middle to get inside position on Max Arfsten to net his seventh goal.
The Crew's breakthrough came when Marco Pasalic was called for a handball in the 63rd minute after a review. The ball struck his left hand on a cross by Dylan Chambost.
Rossi went to the left corner as goalkeeper Pedro Gallese went the other way for his 12th goal of the season and 75th of his MLS career. Rossi has converted all three tries from the spot this season while Gallese has failed to save a PK in three attempts.
Gallese made six saves in a match delayed an hour at the start because of thunderstorms.
The teams take a break from MLS for three matches each against Mexican opponents in the Leagues Cup. The Crew are the defending champions.--Field Level Media
