Tyrese Spicer scored in the 93rd minute to rally Orlando City to a 3-3 draw with Minnesota United on Saturday night in Saint Paul, Minn.
Spicer fielded a long overhead pass from Antoine Griezmann at the top left side of the box and then fired in a left-footed shot inside the near post to garner a point for the Lions (7-11-4, 25 points).
Griezmann had a goal to go along with his assist and Daryl Dike also scored for Orlando City, which remained in ninth place in the Eastern Conference with the draw. Maxime Crepeau made five saves for the Lions, who were outshot, 20-6, in the match.
Kelvin Yeboah had a goal and an assist and Marcus Caldeira and Anthony Markanich also scored goals for Minnesota United (7-7-8, 29 points). Alec Smir, who came in at halftime when starter Drake Callender was put into concussion protocol, finished with two saves.
Minnesota outshot Orlando, 10-1, in the first half, including 4-1 in shots on goal, but went into the locker room at halftime trailing, 1-0, thanks to the goalkeeping of Crepeau, who made four saves.
The Lions took a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute on Dike’s spinning right-footed shot from the right side of the six-yard box.
Griezmann, coming in off his first MLS brace in a 2-1 comeback win over Real Salt Lake last Saturday, extended the Orlando lead to 2-0 in the 64th minute when he finished a 3-on-1 break with a left-footed shot from the left side of the box that trickled inside the far corner for his fourth goal.
Caldeira cut the lead to 2-1 in the 71st minute when he redirected Yeboah’s cross into the middle of the six-yard box into the middle of the net, the first of three consecutive Minnesota goals in a four-minute span.
Three minutes later, Markanich tied it with a header in the middle of the box off Joaquin Pereyra’s corner kick for his sixth goal.
Yeboah then gave the Loons their first lead a minute later when he put in a scissor kick rebound from the top of the six-yard box of a Kyle Duncan shot for his team-leading 11th goal.
