Gio Reyna scored another winner off the bench — until Dortmund blew it

The USMNT forward continues to do more with less at Dortmund

Gio Reyna continued his habit of clutch goals off the bench for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, but what should have been a stoppage-time winner was only enough for a point after Stuttgart found a 97th-minute equalizer.

Reyna hadn’t seen the field in Dortmund’s previous three games as he battled illness, but he made the most of his chance after he was brought on in the 82nd minute against 10-man Stuttgart.

With the game tied 2-2 in stoppage time, Reyna collected a rebound from a blocked shot, took a composed first touch and then rifled home from 10 yards out to give Dortmund the lead.

The visitors looked to have collected a massive three points in the title race but just as the final whistle neared, some slack marking allowed Stuttgart to equalize at the death through Silas.

Dropping two points will be a bitter pill to swallow for Dortmund, which had a man advantage for more than a half after Konstantinos Mavropanos was sent off in the 39th minute.

Dortmund also missed a golden opportunity to go level on points atop the Bundesliga table with Bayern Munich, who only managed to draw 1-1 against Hoffenheim on Saturday.

Instead, the Bavarians maintained a two-point advantage in first place.

For Reyna, the goal continues a trend of doing more with less, as he now has four goals in his last seven Bundesliga appearances — only one of which has been a start.
