PBP: Reyna: Borussia Dortmund v Borussia Mönchengladbach, 9/19

Lets go!

 

Game is on ESPN+

 

Huge Bayern goal difference to make up. Let's go!

 

Oops, not the best touch there, still early.

 

hazard hurt

 

Gio finally gets a ball on the turn and is plowed down. A nice touch to draw it.

 

Getting stuck in a bit now, getting more involved.

 

bellingham gonna be great but he is not plug and play

 

Stalemate out there, someone needs to create something.

 

Boring game and bvb look second best

 

bellingham trying to do way too much when attacking

 

Bellingham has been selfish and bad.

 

Reyna!!!!!

 

Reyna!!!!

 

gio buries one!

 

YEEEEESSSSS

 

Gio!

Fantastic. Involved early on, a bit of pinball and then a great finish.

 

GIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

gio is good at soccer.

 

good things happen when you pass

 

REYNAAAAAAAAAA

 

The first league start to a new season and first goal. A good start for our boy.

 

It is great he scored and he clearly belongs on the pitch with the first team. But he has spent way too much time looking for fouls and flailing his arms at the ref. Yes he's 17 but he already has man strength and size. He needs to be more like Haaland who uses his body and his strength quite well.

 

Haaland is a monster, look at when they are standing next to each other.

 

Stat flashed on screen in the 38th minute that Reyna and 'Gladbach's Florian Neuhaus were tied with 8 challenges won the most in the match at that point.

 

Haland is a 6'4" physical freak who is 2.5 years older than Reyna. Of course he uses his body and strength better.

Anyway, that was a composed finish by Reyna. Great ball by Bellingham too.

 

that from sancho was incredible to watch in real time
