Diego Rossi scored in the 80th minute and the Columbus Crew salvaged a 1-1 draw against visiting Orlando City on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Rossi\u2019s third goal of the season was the first at home for Columbus (1-3-3, 6 points), which had scored eight times in four away matches.<\/p>\n

Five of those had come through striker Wessam Abou Ali, who exited in the 35th minute with what looked to be a serious, non-contact injury to his right knee.<\/p>\n

Marco Pasalic scored his second goal early for Orlando (1-5-1, 4 points), which had been outscored 16-0 in its previous three away matches.<\/p>\n

The Lions also were hampered by injuries Sunday, with center backs Iago and Robin Jansson were forced out in the 75th and 78th minutes, respectively.<\/p>\n

Columbus outshot Orlando 19-5 overall and 7-1 in efforts on target, forcing Orlando\u2019s Maxime Crepeau into six saves.<\/p>\n

After struggling much of the match to make the right play in the final third, the hosts finally did so only minutes after the Lions were forced into defensive changes.<\/p>\n

Rossi picked up the ball on the right, played a pass to Taha Habroune, ran onto the return ball into the box and then lofted a finish over the charging Crepeau.<\/p>\n

But Crepeau\u2019s heroics elsewhere in the half helped the Central Florida side escape with a point. His best denial came against Max Arfsten in the 76th minute, and he also reacted well to thwart Daniel Gazdag in the 88th minute from a tighter angle.<\/p>\n

Neither team seriously threatened a winner in more than 11 minutes of second-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Orlando went in front in the 14th minute.<\/p>\n

Ivan Angulo began the move, receiving a pass on the left flank at midfield, pushing down the wing on the dribble and then spotting Tiago with a perfectly weighted ball into the left side of the penalty area.<\/p>\n

Tiago ran onto it and directed a first-touch, left-footed cross toward the penalty spot, and Pasalic met it in stride with a first-time finish to beat the diving Patrick Schulte low inside the right post.<\/p>\n
