Reyna's goal will be hard to top | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

Gio Reyna delivered a late, defining moment that may be hard to top as the United States defeated Paraguay 4-1 at Los Angeles Stadium. He came on in the 82nd minute for Malik Tillman and finished with the outside of his right foot after a 26-pass buildup. The sequence set up the clinching goal.

The display underscored Mauricio Pochettino's possession-forward approach, often described as 'Pochettino-ball.' U.S. captain Tim Ream called it the team's biggest World Cup win. The run reinforces the coach's aim for a deep tournament, and the U.S. has already surpassed its 2022 goal total. The performance energized fans and raised expectations for the remainder of the World Cup.
