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 assists) 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.

Stajduhar made his first start for RSL in his second season with the club and finished with one save. The 28-year-old made 16 start across his first six MLS seasons, all with Orlando.

Kobi Henry, a 22-year-old defender, made his first start (fourth appearance) for Real Salt Lake.
