Orlando City vs. Philadelphia Union: Final Score 4-2 as Lions Get Pounded in Philly

The Lions are in free fall as the defense has reverted back to the horror show it was early in the season.

FULL TIME: Philadelphia Union 4-2 Orlando City. The Lions were porous defensively yet again on the road. Angulo and Ojeda with late goals to spoil the shutout. Iloski will be...what, the 7th? 8th? 9th? player to get MLS Player of the Matchday after facing the Lions. #PHIvORL

90' + 6 - Good ball over the top from Griezmann but Atuesta just can't quite get onto it. #PHIvORL

90' + 2 - Griezmann's shot is blocked out for a corner. #PHIvORL

7' of stoppage time. #PHIvORL

90' - GOAL! Ojeda scores for Orlando to make it 4-2 and ties the club record for career goals. Sarajian with a nice assist. #PHIvORL

88' - SAVE! Crepeau stops Alladoh from close range for the second time in a few minutes. The Canadian has kept this from being 8-1 or 9-1 tonight. #PHIvORL

86' - SAVE! Crepeau denies a shot from the top of the area after Iago got roasted (again). #PHIvORL

79' - Griezmann sends a transition break forward but Sarajian's cross is intercepted. Maybe a pass too many that time. #PHIvORL

78' - GOAL! Griezmann plays the ball short on the right to Angulo, who blasts it past Rick to make it 4-1. Angulo with a goal in four straight games. At least it's not a shutout. #PHIvORL

77' - Maybe Orlando's best attacking movement as Griezmann one-touches it through to Dike, who spins and goes to round Sery Larsen. The defender fouls him and Orlando has a free kick just outside the area. #PHIvORL

76' - Spinning shot by Ojeda but he mishits it badly and it's well wide as he watches with his head in his hands. #PHIvORL

71' - Iloski giving zero effs, firing from about 30 yards out but missing the net. #PHIvORL

70' - Vinicius fires off target on the half volley. #PHIvORL

66' - Sarajian wins a corner. #PHIvORL

65' - Atuesta sends a ball through the six but there was no runner to tap it home. #PHIvORL

61' - SAVE! Crepeau denies a breakaway by Sullivan set up by a terrible Iago giveaway. The Brazilian has had a horror show of a night. Philly corner. #PHIvORL

59' - Angulo wins a corner. #PHIvORL

55' - Dike's shot blocked by Harriel. Good pass from Griezmann. Big man beaten to the loose ball after the block. #PHIvORL

54' - SUBS: Vinicius Nogueira makes his OCSC/MLS debut and Sarajian and Otavio also come on. Taifi, Rhein, and Gerbet off. #PHIvORL

53' - Insane scramble in the box with Ojeda and Dike getting shots blocked and Griezmann eventually shooting just wide. Nothing much doing tonight. #PHIvORL

51' - There's Iloski's hat trick and Player of the Matchday will once again go to an Orlando City opponent. Not a single defender within 5 yards of him outside the box. Unacceptably bad defending and no organization. #PHIvORL

47' - Vassilev scores to make it 3-0. Turnover by Ojeda and a failed clearance by Iago and zero Lions near the back post, giving Vassilev a clear look. This game is history and I don't see any way this team can make the playoffs with road games still on the schedule. #PHIvORL

47' - Ojeda tries to send Angulo down the wing on a 3-v-3 but Rick comes off his line and gets there first. #PHIvORL

46' - We're back underway. No changes in personnel. Hopefully major changes in performance. #PHIvORL

The two in the first half make 16 goals conceded in the last 5-1/2 away games for Orlando, if you're keeping track. We're keeping track.

Orlando with two shots in the first half, none on goal. One that would have gone on goal was stopped by an arm, and according to the match officials, a chest before the arm, and I'd be interested in seeing their camera angles that weren't shared with the broadcast.

HALFTIME: Philadelphia Union 2-0 Orlando City. The best thing you can say about that half is it's over. Terrible half by Orlando and the score could be worse. Two massive and highly questionable decisions against the Lions early in the game certainly didn't help them. #PHIvORL

45' + 4 - Good steal by Atuesta but it goes to waste as he waits too long to make his pass and it's picked off. #PHIvORL

45' + 1 - Another horrific turnover by Iago sends the Union on the attack but this time the Lions regroup without a shot. #PHIvORL
