Gio Reyna Marks USMNT Return With Goal and Assist in 2-1 Win Over Paraguay

Pochettino praised the display, stressing his World Cup case hinges on regular minutes at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Overview

  • In his first U.S. appearance in 16 months, Reyna headed the opener in the fourth minute and later set up Folarin Balogun’s 71st-minute winner in Chester, Pennsylvania.
  • Head coach Mauricio Pochettino called Reyna’s performance a very good job and said he was a nightmare for Paraguay.
  • Pochettino underscored that sustained club action is essential, with reporting noting Reyna has logged only 147 minutes across six matches for Mönchengladbach.
  • Reyna said the camp was an opportunity to prove he belongs and targeted seven or eight strong months with his club to strengthen his national-team case.
  • With a friendly against Uruguay on Tuesday and only the March window remaining before 2026 roster decisions, this week offers another key audition.
