CHARLOTTE, N.C. — 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Charlotte took a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute when Henry Kessler was left wide open to head home Ashley Westwood\u2019s free kick. <\/p>\n

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 Cr\u00e9peau.<\/p>\n

Saint-Maximin had a penalty shot blocked by Cr\u00e9peau in the 84th but Abdoulaye Doucour\u00e9 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. <\/p>\n

Rodolfo Aloko capped the scoring in stoppage time with a one-time finish of Tyger Smalls’ cross. <\/p>\n

Orlando: Hosts New England next Saturday. <\/p>\n

Charlotte: Plays at Miami next Saturday. <\/p>\n
