USMNT's Berhalter: Reyna skill against Mexico gave me vision of Maradona
Gregg Berhalter said he saw shades of Diego Maradona's famous run at the 1986 World Cup on Thursday night as Gio Reyna dazzled during a magical sequence at the Azteca.
Reyna came on as a second-half substitute in the USMNT's 0-0 draw with Mexico, nearly helping the U.S. seal the win if not for a 72nd-minute miss from Jordan Pefok.
Moments later, Reyna went on a mazy run through several Mexico defenders, with his coach pointing out that the forward drive looked very familiar to one of the most famous in the game's history.
After receiving the ball in his own half, Reyna darted past several Mexico defenders as he broke towards goal.
Every time the sequence seemingly neared its conclusion, Reyna would ease past yet another defender before, ultimately, being tackled after leaving several El Tri stars in his wake.
We see you Gio Reyna
