Gio Reyna Scores in Dortmund's Season Opener in DFB Pokal

Giovanni Reyna has high hopes for himself in the 2020-2021 season, and he's off to a good start.

The 17-year-old U.S. international started Dortmund's DFB Pokal (German Cup) first-round match vs. Duisburg and was credited with his side's fourth goal in a lopsided romp against a 10-man, third-tier foe.

Reyna, who also scored against Duisburg in a preseason friendly, ripped a 23-yard free kick in the 50th minute that found the back of the net. It took a very advantageous redirect off teammate Axel Witsel's hip on the way in, but the goal belongs to the American, his second in a Dortmund shirt.
