In Chester, Pa., Gio Reyna, short on club minutes and only “80, 85 percent” fit, starred as the U.S. men beat Paraguay 2-1 in a friendly. He headed an early goal and later sparked Folarin Balogun’s winner, flashing the vision and calm teammates say steadies them, even after a lapse helped Paraguay’s equalizer. Coach Mauricio Pochettino called his movement “a nightmare,” while captain Tim Ream and Brenden Aaronson praised his aggression and resilience. After 75 lively minutes, Reyna smiled and said he was “just happy to be back.”
