Gio Reyna Scores in Dortmund's First Preseason Friendly

Giovanni Reyna is wasting little time in making his case for a greater role with Dortmund's first team next season.

Reyna, the 17-year-old American, scored Dortmund's first preseason goal on Wednesday against Austrian club Rheindorf Altach. It came as the result of some Dortmund pressure, with a turnover caused by new signing Jude Bellingham immediately being turned into an opportunity.

Bellingham, the 17-year-old former Birmingham City standout, played it to 20-year-old Erling Haaland, who found Reyna to his left unmarked. The U.S. international calmly finished with his second touch to make it 1-0 in the 14th minute.
