When Antoine Griezmann scores, Orlando City win.
At least that's been the case during the Frenchman's first two months as a Lion, this time scoring his first MLS brace to fuel Orlando City's 2-1 comeback victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night at Inter.co Stadium.
With the three points, Griezmann successfully led the Lions into an Audi MLS Cup Playoffs spot for the first time this season.
After falling behind in the first half to a tidy finish by Dominik Marczuk, Orlando found an equalizer in the 53rd minute. Cleaning up a saved attempt from recent returnee Daryl Dike, Griezmann capitalized at the back post for a tap-in.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Antoine Griezmann scored two second-half goals Saturday night to help Orlando City beat Real Salt Lake 2-1 to extend their winless streak to seven games.
Maxime Crépeau had three saves for Orlando City (7-11-3), which snapped a three-game winless skid.
Griezmann back-heeled a shot that was deflected and then tapped in the loose ball to give Orlando City a 2-1 lead in the 81st. The 35-year-old, who signed with the club in July, had his first career multi-goal game in MLS and his five goal contributions (three goals, two ****** ists) in six games.
Dominik Marczuk scored his first goal this season to give Real Salt Lake (8-8-4) a 1-0 lead in the 36th. Sam Junqua played an arcing first-touch cross from 35 yards out on the left side to the back post and Marczuk gently rolled in the volley.
Griezmann made it 1-1 in the 53rd minute. On the counter-attack, Daryl Dike's shot from the top of the 6-yard box was knocked away by goalkeeper Mason Stajduhar but Griezmann tapped the putback into a wide-open net.
