ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Iván Angulo scored the go-ahead goal in the 89th minute, Antoine Griezmann added a goal and an assist, and Maxime Crépeau had 12 saves to help Orlando City beat the Columbus Crew 3-2 on Saturday night.
Angulo, on the counter-attack, pushed a pass wide to left side where Martín Ojeda tapped a first-touch pass back to Angulo for a one-timer from the center to give Orlando City (11-13-4) a 3-2 lead.
Taha Habroune had a goal and an assist and Brais Méndez scored a goal for the Crew (8-15-5).
Harvey Sarajian made his first career start (10th appearance) and scored his second MLS goal to give Orlando a 1-0 lead in the first minute. Sarajian put away a first-touch shot, off a cross played by Griezmann, from near the penalty spot 46 seconds into the game.
Griezmann’s goal made it 2-0 in the 16th.
Habroune perfectly timed his run onto a ball-ahead played by Santiago Rodríguez and beat Crépeau, who had charged off his line, to make it 1-1 in the 8th.
Méndez, on the counter-attack, put away a feed from Habroune into a wide-open net to make it 2-2 in the 53rd minute.
The 35-year-old Greizmann, who joined Orlando City in July, has nine goals and five assists in 12 career MLS appearances.
Patrick Schulte had five saves for Columbus.
