San Jose Earthquakes 0:4 Orlando City SC — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Maxime Crépeau kept a clean sheet as Orlando City SC thrashed San Jose Earthquakes 4-0, a result that sets up a meeting with Nashville SC on July 25th. The visitors were ruthless from the first whistle, punishing a disjointed San Jose side that never recovered from going behind inside seven minutes.

David Brekalo opened the scoring in the 7th minute from Eduard Atuesta's assist, and Iván Angulo doubled the lead in the 29th minute, again supplied by Atuesta. Antoine Griezmann struck three minutes into the second half, with Justin Ellis providing the assist, before Braian Ojeda added a fourth in the 72nd minute, completing Atuesta's hat-trick of assists. San Jose's frustration boiled over into three yellow cards during a second half they largely controlled territorially but could not turn into goals.

Despite San Jose edging possession with 51% and winning the corner count 3-2, Orlando created the better chances with 1.53 xG to the home side's 1.04 and fired 14 shots to San Jose's 11; the Earthquakes were outplayed on efficiency across both halves. Maxime Crépeau was the standout with an 8.6 rating from his goalkeeper position, making crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet. CheckLive's model clearly favoured San Jose but the result emphatically confounded that prediction, as Orlando dominated from start to finish and now host Nashville SC.
