Welcome to your match thread for a Sunday afternoon match-up between Orlando City (7-21-4, 25 points) and the Columbus Crew (13-10-9, 48 points). This is the second of two scheduled meetings between the Eastern Conference rivals in 2018 and the Lions’ home finale.
The Lions are 1-5-3 in the all-time series (1-2-2 at home). Orlando does have a U.S. Open Cup victory over Columbus back in 2015, however. There should be an additional win — or at least a draw — in the Orlando City column in this series after an absolutely horror call by Silviu Petrescu in the 88th minute that gave Columbus an equalizer from the penalty spot on July 21.
