Five goals, three assists, eight games
That is Antoine Griezmann’s Florida ledger so far, and it grew again overnight. Orlando City beat San Diego 1-0. The Frenchman scored the only goal, picked out inside the box and finishing without any fuss at all.
Orlando have gone four wins, two draws and two defeats across that stretch. A season that started badly is back within touching distance of the playoff places.
He has become the reference point in that attack quicker than anyone expected. When the Lions run out of ideas, the ball ends up at his feet.

Miami keep scoring and keep conceding
Inter Miami were held 2-2 by Atlanta United. Luis Suarez and Casemiro got the goals, the second of them teed up by Lionel Messi, who has now made a habit of it.
Atlanta responded twice through Miguel Almiron and Breel Embolo. Miami had controlled long spells of the game and thought the three points were theirs.
Messi keeps producing. The back line keeps giving it away. In an Eastern Conference this tight, two points dropped in September have a way of resurfacing in October.
Two clubs pulling in opposite directions
Orlando are climbing because someone reliable arrived and took charge of the final third. Miami are treading water because everything still routes through their captain and nothing behind him holds.
San Diego and Atlanta both leave with something to think about too, and the fixture list is not slowing down for anyone. Orlando visit a very different kind of test next.
