Giovanni Reyna shines in return, USMNT edges Paraguay in friendly

CHESTER: Giovanni Reyna scored early and helped set up another goal late in his first international appearance since the 2024 Copa America, helping the US to a 2-1 friendly victory over Paraguay yesterday in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Folarin Balogun scored the match-winner in the 71st minute for the 2026 World Cup co-hosts against one of South America’s six automatic qualifiers for the tournament.

The Americans will complete their November itinerary on Tuesday in Tampa, Fla against Uruguay, another South American side that will be part of the 48-team World Cup field.

Alex Arce scored the lone goal for Paraguay, which will be making its first World Cup appearance since it mounted a run to the quarterfinals in 2010.

Reyna has been a provocative figure for the US since a post-2022 World Cup saga that stemmed from his lack of playing time at the tournament, and ultimately involved the families of both Reyna and former US national team coach Gregg Berhalter.

He has consistently struggled for playing time at the club level.

At his latest stop, he has only one start among his six appearances for mid-table German side Borussia Monchengladbach.

Even so, he still earned his first minutes under current manager Mauricio Pochettino on Saturday, and put the Americans in front after four minutes.

After a half-clearance from Paraguay’s defense amid US pressure, the ball came to Max Arfsten on the right.

The wingback delivered a lofted cross to the near post, where Reyna met it with a firm header into the top right corner.

Paraguay leveled the match six minutes later through an incisive counterattack.

Center back Junior Alonso played a long ball down the left for Miguel Almiron, who took it on the bounce and hit an excellent first-time cross on the half-volley.

Arce met it in full stride, powering a header beyond Matt Freese from close range.

However, Reyna was again involved much later as the Americans took the lead for good on another attack due to additional high pressing, this time by Cristian Roldan.

Balogun received the loose ball created by Roldan’s pressing, laid it off to Reyna, who was making a run down the left, and took off toward the box.

Reyna attempted a low cross toward Roldan at the far post, and when a Paraguay defender deflected it, Balogun was there to hammer in the loose ball.

Each side was credited with eight shots. Freese earned a pair of saves, while Orlando Gil stopped one American shot on goal.

The US held possession for 55.8% of the match.

In keeping with this drive for more realism, screenwriters Purvis, Wade and Haggis wanted
the script to follow as closely as possible the original 1953 novel, keeping Fleming’s darker storyline and characterization of Bond.Due to copyright issues related to the
ownership of Thunderball, the organization of which
Mr White is a part is not named Spectre. Obanno, furious that
his money is missing, ambushes Le Chiffre but allows him to
continue playing to win back the money. Bond is
paired with Vesper Lynd, a British Treasury agent protecting the $10 million buy-in.
A year earlier, Craig rejected the idea of starring, as he felt the series had descended into
formula; only when he read the script did he become interested.
Matthew Vaughn told reporters MGM had offered him the opportunity to direct the new film, but
at that point Eon Productions had not approached either Craig or Vaughn. Campbell and
casting directors Janet Hirshenson and Jane Jenkins recalled
meeting with Alex O’Loughlin, Julian McMahon, Ewan McGregor, Rupert
Friend, and Antony Starr to discuss the role.

Its central location on the Las Vegas Strip
makes it easily accessible and within walking distance of many other major attractions and hotels.
The Bellagio Resort is located at 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA.
The hotel’s name is inspired by Bellagio, Italy, a picturesque town on Lake Como.
Bellagio is home to one of the most diverse casinos on the Strip when it comes to gambling.

In 2010, Travel + Leisure ranked it 31st on a list of top
hotels in large U.S. and Canadian cities. A 2005 study by Majestic Research, polling more than 400
out-of-state residents, found Bellagio to be the favorite resort among tourists,
with 18 percent support. In 2010, Bellagio
won its 10th consecutive Five Diamond Award, the first Strip resort to do so.
