Orlando (9-11-4) is unbeaten in four straight.

Iván Angulo scored the go-ahead goal in the 58th minute. Robin Jansson played an arcing ball from near midfield to the top of the penalty box, Martín Ojeda pushed a header forward, tapped a short cross to Angulo for a first-touch finish that made it 2-1.

Atlanta (6-14-4) scored on own goals in the seventh minute and the seventh minute of stoppage time.

Maxime Crépeau had one save for Orlando City.

Griffin Dorsey bent a cross from the right edge of the penalty box to the front post and Griezmann poked a sliding shot past goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos from point-blank range to make it 1-1 in the 26th minute.

Griezmann, on the give and go with Justin Ellis, tapped in from just outside the 6-yard box to give Orlando a two-goal lead in the 77th.

Hoyos finished with four saves.

The teams played to a 1-1 tie at Inter&Co Stadium on May 16.
