It could have been worse.
With 8 mins to go in Portland last night, Orlando were creeping ever nearer to Montreal Impact in the Eastern standings. They had led from the 44th minute when Santiago Patino first-timed a weak clearance into the net from 12 yards.
Had they held on, Orlando would have come within two points of the Impact, with a superior goal difference and most notably, a game less played.
But the gap was kept cushioned at four, thanks to a headed combination between Fernandez and Ebobisse, the substitute, who applied the finishing touch.
