Orlando came back from the 2026 FIFA World Cup break with a bang, cruising to a 4-0 win at the San Jose Earthquakes.

Griezmann scored on his MLS debut, while Eduard Atuesta added a hat trick of assists. David Brekalo, Iván Angulo and Braian Ojeda also tallied at PayPal Park.

Players to watch

  • Antoine Griezmann: The iconic French forward is paying immediate dividends for Orlando, notching a goal in his first MLS appearance ahead of this weekend's home debut.
  • Maxime Crépeau: Canada's starting goalkeeper at the 2026 World Cup, Crépeau is among the league leaders in saves (70). 
  • Braian Ojeda: Another 2026 World Cup veteran, Ojeda opened his scoring account for Orlando this week after representing Paraguay over the summer.

Need to know

One game into their Antoine Griezmann era, Orlando have instant momentum and credibility.

If Wednesday's result at San Jose is a preview of things to come, the Lions could have what it takes to not only get back into the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs mix, but compete for silverware.

  2. 39 points (12W-1L-3D)

Last game

Nashville continued their Supporters' Shield-leading pace on Wednesday, dispatching CF Montréal, 1-0, with a professional performance at GEODIS Park.

All-Star striker Sam Surridge scored the game-winning goal from the penalty spot as the Coyotes made it five wins in a row and 10 straight undefeated in league play.

Players to watch

  • Hany Mukhtar: The 2022 Landon Donovan MLS MVP is on pace to produce at least 20 goal contributions for the fifth season with Nashville.
  • Sam Surridge: The English striker has 10 goals in less than 700 minutes of action, making a push for the Golden Boot presented by Audi despite injuries.
  • Brian Schwake: In his first season as Nashville's No. 1 goalkeeper, Schwake has earned an MLS All-Star selection while delivering eight clean sheets.

Need to know

Nashville continue to set the pace in MLS, sitting five points clear of their nearest challengers (Inter Miami CF) atop the league standings.
