BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. - Orlando City B (2-2-3, 12 points) erased a late two-goal deficit to draw Chicago Fire FC II (1-2-4, 10 points) 2-2 on Sunday afternoon at SeatGeek Stadium. The Lions then won the end-of-regulation shootout 4-2 to claim the extra point, with goalkeeper Tristan Himes recording a save in the tiebreaker.

OCB entered halftime trailing by two goals after Dean Boltz converted a penalty kick in the 34th minute and Darris Hyte redirected Damyan Villanueva's corner kick at the near post in the 41st.

The Lions pulled one back six minutes into the second half when Yutaro Tsukada's corner kick created pressure in the box and forced Chicago goalkeeper Owen Pratt into an own goal, cutting the deficit to one.

Second-half substitute Nicolas Lasheras completed the comeback in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time, heading Gustavo Caraballo's corner kick from the back post back across goal and in to level the match and send it to the shootout.

Orlando City B returns home Sunday, May 3, to host Crown Legacy FC. Kickoff at Osceola County Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, with the match airing live on OneFootball and MLSNEXTPro.com.
