Antoine Griezmann marked his Major League Soccer debut with a striking goal, contributing to Orlando City‘s dominant 4-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes. The 35-year-old French forward’s goal was a milestone, representing the 300th goal of his club career.
Starting alongside Argentine coach Martín Perelman, Griezmann played the full match, demonstrating his influence on the pitch from the outset. The goal came early in the second half, at the 48th minute, when Griezmann skillfully received the ball inside the box. Despite being surrounded by four defenders, he managed to bypass the first with a deft feint before finishing past the San Jose goalkeeper, extending Orlando City’s lead to 3-0.
Orlando City’s Commanding Performance
The comprehensive win was further cemented by contributions from سلوفيني defender David Brekalo, Colombian midfielder Iván Angulo, and Paraguayan midfielder Braian Ojeda. Their combined efforts helped dismantle San Jose Earthquakes, who had been co-leaders of the Western Conference alongside Vancouver.
This victory lifts Orlando City to tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings, now sitting on 17 points. They trail the postseason positions by just two points, currently held by DC United, tightening the race for playoff qualification as the season progresses.
