In the final second of stoppage time against Paraguay, U.S. men’s national team midfielder Gio Reyna dazzled with a trivela goal, earning a 4–1 blowout win for the co-host’s 2026 World Cup opening match.
The technical mastery with which Reyna curved the ball was a sight to behold, using the outside of his right foot to slink past the desperate fingertips of Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill. Yet, for former USMNT legend and three-time World Cup goalkeeper (2006, 2010, 2014) Tim Howard, Reyna’s silky moves wasn’t what was most significant about the moment.
