Antoine Griezmann scores in MLS debut as Orlando City beat Earthquakes 4-0
Griezmann scored in his MLS debut as Orlando City handed San Jose its most lopsided defeat since June 2024.
- On Wednesday, Orlando City defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 4-0 at PayPal Park, with French star Antoine Griezmann scoring in his MLS debut after joining from Atlético Madrid.
- San Jose entered the match with a club-record 10-3-2 start tied atop the Western Conference, but after a two-month World Cup break, the Earthquakes' defensive streaks ended abruptly.
- David Brekalo headed home the opening goal on a set piece in the seventh minute, Ivan Angulo doubled the lead in the 29th minute with a strike from outside the box, and Griezmann added a third three minutes into the second half after capitalizing on a turnover by left back Jamar Ricketts.
- Scotland international Angus Gunn endured a disastrous MLS debut for San Jose with three saves, while German designated player Timo Werner completed just 41.7% of his passes—the lowest of any player in the match—before his 74th-minute substitution.
- With little time to regroup, San Jose faces the LA Galaxy on Saturday at Stanford Stadium in the California Clasico, seeking to restore form after dropping to 10-4-2 following their worst loss since June 2024.
