Nets final goal of match
Reyna recorded one goal on one shot in Friday's 4-1 win over Paraguay.
Analysis: Reyna would come onto the field with eight minutes left in regular time, but still made an impact, as the attacker came up with a beautiful outside-of-the-foot shot for the fourth goal of the match in stoppage time. This is a huge relief for a player who was questionable to make the squad, making an early impact. This could potentially lead him to more time heading into the tie against Australia, a sneaky super sub for the American side.
Scores off bench Saturday
Reyna scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and six chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Augsburg.
Analysis: Reyna made an impact despite logging limited minutes, as he scored a consolation goal from close range in stoppage time against Augsburg. He also showed his distributing skills by tallying six chances created in the game. His role has steadily grown since his recovery from a muscle injury in February, although he has yet to overtake Kevin Stoger or Wael Mohya for a starting position. In any case, the goal and solid performance should give the USMNT international a confidence boost ahead of the World Cup.
