Overview
- Antoine Griezmann scored three minutes into the second half in his MLS debut on Wednesday, starting and playing the full 90 minutes as Orlando City beat the San Jose Earthquakes 4-0.
- The strike was the 35-year-old's 300th club goal, a total built from roughly 212 for Atlético Madrid, 52 for Real Sociedad, 35 for Barcelona and his first for Orlando.
- Orlando announced the signing in March and Griezmann formally joined the squad in July on a deal that runs through 2027–28 with a club option for 2028–29.
- Interim coach Martín Perelman and teammates praised Griezmann's humility and locker-room impact, and he led Orlando for chances created, touches and passes in the match.
- The win moved Orlando to 10th in the Eastern Conference, gave the team its first clean sheet of 2026 and sets up a tough upcoming test at top-ranked Nashville SC.
