Allan Saint-Maximin scores the first of Orlando's 3 second-half goals as the
Crown beat Orlando 4-0
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) --- Allan Saint-Maximin scored the first of Orlando's
three second-half goals, Kristijan Kahlina made seven saves for his seventh
clean sheet of the season, and the Crown beat Orlando 4-0 on Saturday.
Charlotte (15-10-8), which clinch a playoff spot on Wednesday with a 4-0
victory over Montreal, improved its record at Bank of America Stadium to 10-3-4
this season for 34 points.
Orlando (12-14-7), which had a five-match unbeaten streak come to an end, was
hoping to clinch a playoff spot with a victory. The Lions entered with a
club-record scoring streak of 25 consecutive matches across all competitions.
Charlotte took a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute when Henry Kessler was left wide
open to head home Ashley Westwood's free kick.
Saint-Maximin made it 2-0 in the 49th by dribbling from midfield to the top of
the 18-yard box for a shot past goalkeeper Maxime Crpeau.
Saint-Maximin had a penalty shot blocked by Crpeau in the 84th but Abdoulaye
Doucour was first to the rebound for his first MLS goal. Then, Saint-Maximin
was issued a straight red card five minutes later for an obscene gesture toward
an opponent.
Rodolfo Aloko capped the scoring in stoppage time with a one-time finish of
Tyger Smalls' cross.
