United States midfielder Gio Reyna continued his recent impressive form, scoring for Strasbourg against Paris Saint-Germain in the French league on Saturday. Reyna broke the deadlock in the 17th minute with a low shot that took a slight deflection past Matvei Safonov in the PSG goal. It was enough for the home team to lead at halftime, but PSG replied with three goals after the break to win 3-1.
The 23-year-old Reyna was making his seventh league appearance for Strasbourg after joining the team from German side Borussia Mönchengladbach in the offseason. He scored in a 6-2 win at Troyes last month. Reyna, who has struggled with fitness in recent seasons, started all four games -- contributing two assists -- for the U.S. men's national team in the recent international break.
Strasbourg has now lost its last three games to fall down to 12th in the Ligue 1 standings, but Reyna said the team can take plenty of positives from Saturday's performance. In his opinion, if they played many other teams in the league like they played tonight they would come away with three points and be very happy right now.
