Antoine Griezmann Continues To Terrorise MLS Defences With Another Stunning Strike For Orlando City
Antoine Griezmann has wasted absolutely no time making his mark on Major League Soccer since arriving at Orlando City in the summer.
The 35-year-old Frenchman brings with him a decorated European career, and he is showing that his quality has not diminished one bit.
Griezmann has bagged eight goals in 10 games for Orlando City, an extraordinary return that has turned heads right across the league.
His prolific start has dragged Orlando City firmly into playoff contention, giving the club a genuine chance at a deep run into the postseason.
On this occasion, it was a pinpoint cross from Zakaria Taifi that set the stage for another moment of brilliance from the former Atlético Madrid forward.
Griezmann came flying into frame and threw a boot out to connect with the delivery, finishing with the kind of technique that only elite strikers can produce.
It was a finish that showcased every bit of the instinct and precision that made him one of Europe’s most feared forwards during his time at the highest level.
The goal also marked his fifth consecutive game on the scoresheet, a run of form that has left MLS defenders scrambling for answers.
Orlando City moved quickly to secure his signature in the summer, and that decision is already looking like one of the shrewdest pieces of business in the league’s recent history.
Despite his age, Griezmann is already tracking at a pace that could see him challenge the upper reaches of the MLS scoring charts before the season is done.
For a player of his experience and pedigree, adapting to a new league in a new country could have taken time, but that has simply not been the case.
Orlando City will be hoping Griezmann can maintain this remarkable consistency as the season enters its most critical and demanding phase in the weeks ahead.
