Tyrese Spicer, Maxime Crépeau help Orlando City end Nashville's 10-match unbeaten run in 1-0 victory
Tyrese Spicer scored in the 72nd minute and Maxime Crépeau made three saves as Orlando City handed Nashville SC its first loss in 11 matches.
On Saturday, Orlando City defeated Eastern Conference-leading Nashville 1-0, ending the visitors' 10-match unbeaten run with a second-half goal from Tyrese Spicer.
A weather delay of 1 hour, 17 minutes preceded the match, which Nashville entered leading the Supporters Shield standings while seeking to extend its franchise-best winning streak.
Spicer, who subbed in during the 53rd minute, broke the scoreless tie at 72 minutes with assists from 18-year-old rookie Justin Ellis and defender Adrián Marín, scoring his career-best third goal this season.
Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau made three saves for his second shutout in 16 starts, while Nashville, which had won five consecutive matches, suffered its second loss of the season.
Orlando City visits the New York Red Bulls on Saturday, while Nashville travels to face United the same day to resume their MLS campaigns after the setback.
