Gio Reyna hadn’t appeared in a 2022 World Cup qualifier for the U.S. men’s national team since the first one back in September, but he made sure to mark his return with authority.
Reyna delivered a slaloming dribble from his own third to Mexico’s, weaving between defenders on one of the highlight-reel plays of the U.S.’s 0–0 draw at Estadio Azteca Thursday night. The point inches the U.S. closer to the World Cup, and having a healthy Reyna back and performing adds a bit more sauce to the U.S.’s approach.
Reyna dodged a pair of challenges when he began his 77th-minute run before spitting a couple more defenders as he crossed the midfield line.
