Reyna becomes USMNT’s third-youngest scorer
American line-up has average age of 22 in 6-2 victory

Nicholas Gioacchini and Sebastian Soto both scored their first two international goals, Gio Reyna got his first and a young United States team routed Panama 6-2 on Monday night in a friendly at Wiener Neustadt in Austria.

Gioacchini and Reyna made their first appearances on Thursday in a 0-0 draw against Wales, among six debuts as the Americans returned from a coronavirus break that had sidelined the team since February. Soto and Richy Ledezma were among two more debuts against Panama. Sebastian Lletget, like Soto a second-half substitute, also scored late for the Americans. Ledezma set up the final goal.
