Reaching the postseason will take a storybook finish to the regular season by Crew SC. On a turf field at Camping World Stadium with football lines clearly visible, the Crew at least rewrote the ending to what had been an ugly chapter this season.

After settling for a 2-2 home tie despite leading Orlando City 2-0 at home July 23, the Crew again took a 2-0 lead in the rematch Saturday night — but this time, it kept scoring. Ola Kamara’s tap-in from Ethan Finlay in the 44th minute capped a dominating first half by the visitors, who took a season-best 3-0 lead into the locker room and went on to a 4-1 win in front of 30,218 fans.
