ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Facundo Torres scored on a penalty kick in the 84th minute and Orlando City grabbed the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew.
Columbus needed a win or a tie to advance. The club set a MLS record by dropping 11 points in the 90th minute or later this season — topping the previous mark by three points.
Orlando City (14-14-6) beat Columbus (10-8-16) for the seventh time in the last eight meetings.
Orlando City went 9-8-0 at home this season.
The only other team to finish a season without a draw at home, excluding the shortened 2020 season, was the 2002 New England Revolution.
