ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) --- Antoine Griezmann had two goals and an assist, Martn
Ojeda added a goal and an assist, and Orlando City beat D.C. United 3-1 on
Saturday night.
Griezmann has 12 goals and seven assists in 14 MLS appearances and is the first
player in league history with a goal contribution in 12 of his first 14 career
games.
Marco Pasalic scored a stoppage-time goal for Orlando (12-13-5). Maxime Crpeau
had three saves.
Tai Baribo converted from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time for D.C.
(7-10-12).
Ojeda, just inside the top of the 18-yard box, chipped a first-touch pass over
four defenders to a charging Griezmann on the give-and-go for a first-touch
finish from 7 yards out to make it 1-0 in the 15th minute.
Ojeda flicked a back-heel volley, off a feed from Griezmann, past goalkeeper
Sean Johnson and inside the left post to give Orlando a two-goal lead in the
22nd.
Griezmann intercepted a misplayed pass by Kye Rowles in D.C.'s defensive third,
took two dribbles and rolled a shot into the net to make it 3-1 in the 50th
minute.
Johnson finished with three saves.
