StrasbourgScores first goal for Racing
Reyna scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 6-2 win against Troyes.
Analysis: Reyna extended Strasbourg's lead to 3-1 in the 57th minute, arriving at a moment when Troyes were rebuilding their momentum after halftime and ending any realistic hope of a comeback for the home side. His goal was the third time Strasbourg had punished Troyes against the run of play, with the American midfielder converting to make the result feel inevitable heading into the final half hour. Reyna scored his first goal as a Racing player and started the last two Ligue 1 games, contributing five shots and five chances created.
Signs with Strasbourg through 2031
Reyna signed a contract with Strasbourg through 2031, according to his new club.
Analysis: Reyna made 147 appearances across all competitions during six seasons at Borussia Dortmund, scoring 19 goals with 18 assists and winning the German Cup in 2021, before joining Borussia Monchengladbach last summer, where he made 20 appearances in 2025/26. The 23 year old American international has earned 43 caps for the United States with 10 goals, including a goal at this summer's World Cup in the win over Paraguay, and now begins the next chapter of his career in Ligue 1.
Kept in check by Turkiye
Reyna took one shot (off target), sent in one inaccurate cross, and suffered one foul in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Turkiye.
Analysis: Reyna turned in a technically clean but relatively quiet performance in the United States' 3-2 loss to Turkiye. Starting in an advanced midfield role, he showed flashes of his creativity and composure in possession but found it difficult to consistently break down a well-organized Turkish defense. He was substituted in the 76th minute as Mauricio Pochettino refreshed the attack. He will likely return to a reserve role against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Wednesday's Round of 32 battle.
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.
