After several teases, 17-year-old Gio Reyna was finally given his first-ever start in the Bundesliga by Lucien Favre on Saturday. The U.S. international did not disappoint, setting up Dortmund’s first goal against RB Leipzig with a clever first touch pass to set up Erling Haaland. Here’s a look at the deft helper:
Reyna went 81 minutes in his full debut that saw his side defeat Leipzig, 2-0. In addition to his assist, he had a 86% pass completion, one key pass, completed 4 of 5 dribble attempts, and won 10 of 17 duels.
It’s another big step for the promising American talent.
