ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Jay Fortune scored late in the second half to rally Atlanta United to a 1-1 draw with Orlando City on Saturday night.
Fortune used assists from defenders Matthew Edwards and Stian Gregersen in the 86th minute to score for the second time this season and the fourth time in 64 career appearances. Both defenders checked into the match in the 68th minute before notching their first assists this season.
Defender Griffin Dorsey put Orlando City up 1-0 when he took passes from Iván Angulo and Martín Ojeda in the 18th minute to score his second goal this season. Angulo’s assist was his seventh — one off the league lead — and Ojeda collected his first. Dorsey scored his first goal in a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday.
Maxime Crépeau had three saves in goal for Orlando City (4-8-2).
Lucas Hoyos turned away two shots for Atlanta United (3-8-2).
Orlando City is now 3-3-1 at home, while Atlanta United improves to 1-3-1 on the road.

Orlando City entered with three wins in its last four matches — beating the New England Revolution, Inter Miami, and the Philadelphia all by 4-3 scores. The only loss was a 2-0 setback in Montreal.
The two teams square off again on Tuesday in Orlando in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup.
