Two own goals from Adailton have gifted Orlando City a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Fire in their MLS clash.
The Fire had a great start to the game as they took the lead in the ninth minute. David Accam laid the ball into the path of Kennedy Igboananike, who was left with a simple finish from close range.
Orlando almost hit back as Pedro Ribeiro collected the ball inside the box, but his drive at goal was well saved by Jon Busch.
The visitors found an equaliser when Sean St Ledger rose highest in the penalty area to head a cross towards goal, and his effort deflected off Adailton and trickled over the line.
In the second half, Chicago retook the lead with a well-worked move as Igboananike, Accam and Harrison Shipp all exchanged passes in the final third. This created an opening for Accam and he maintained his composure to fire an effort past Tally Hall.
The home side almost found a third goal as Shipp threaded a pass to Quincy Amarikwa on the edge of the box, but he drilled his strike just over the crossbar.
Orlando got back into the game with their equaliser in the 82nd minute, as Eric Avila found Cyle Larin outside the box and the striker powered an effort past Busch.
The visitors took the lead when Carlos Rivas lifted the ball towards goal and Larin managed to poke an effort towards the net, which was bundled past Busch by the luckless Adailton to hand City the three points.
