Orlando City, Chicago Fire in MLS draw

Orlando City draw 1-1 with Chicago Fire in the MLS.

Orlando City and Chicago Fire have played out a 1-1 draw in a heavily-delayed MLS match.

Earlier on Saturday, tropical storm Erica hit Orlando but the match went ahead after a delay.

David Accam was first to threaten, but his shot in the fourth minute went wide of the Orlando goal.

Two minutes later, Cyle Larin missed the target from long range at the other end. He did hit the target in the 12th minute though but Sean Johnson was equal to it.

Kennedy Igboananike twice missed the target in the second half but his teammate Accam broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark to give Fire the lead.

Eric Gehrig then put the ball in his own net in the 37th minute to level the scores.

Kaka failed to live up to his reputation, and his sole chance of the match was wasted in the 57th minute when he shot wide.

Accam saw a shot blocked in the second half, and missed the target in the closing stages.

Orlando came closest to stealing the win in the 82nd minute but Carlos Rivas's shot rebounded off the right post.
