U.S. men’s national team fans will be pleased to see Gio Reyna back in action—and even happier to see him taking part in goals.
After starting Borussia Dortmund’s opening Champions League group stage match against Copenhagen on the bench, the winger came on for Thorgan Hazard in the first half due to an injury to the Belgian. Within 20 minutes, Reyna had the third Champions League assist of his career.
With the German side already leading 1–0, Raphaël Guerreiro started the sequence with a darting run through the center of Copenhagen’s defense before dishing off to Reyna just inside the penalty area. Reyna then took a touch toward goal before passing back to Guerreiro for the goal.
