Gio Reyna shows USA exactly what it was missing with banger in Dortmund friendly

Giovanni Reyna is back with the people who love him most. After getting all of 52 minutes at the World Cup despite being fully fit, the 20-year-old American eclipsed that total Saturday during a 60-minute performance in a Borussia Dortmund friendly against Rapid Bucharest.

If you were wondering what all the fuss was about concerning Gregg Berhalter's decision to keep Reyna on the bench, this thunderbolt in Dortmund's 2-1 win should answer your questions.

Reyna and Dortmund don't return to action in the Bundesliga until January 22. They're currently in sixth-place, nine points behind leaders Bayern Munich, but they're also in the DFB-Pokal Round of 16 and play Chelsea in the Champions League last-16.

To keep match fitness, Dortmund is currently playing in the "Christmas Cup," with each match consisting of two halves of 30 minutes.
