United States midfielder Gio Reyna continued his recent impressive form, scoring for Strasbourg against Paris Saint-Germain in the French league on Saturday.
Reyna broke the deadlock in the 17th minute with a low shot that took a slight deflection past Matvei Safonov in the PSG goal.

It was enough for the home team to lead at halftime, but PSG replied with three goals after the break to win 3-1.
The 23-year-old Reyna was making his seventh league appearance for Strasbourg after joining the team from German side Borussia Mönchengladbach in the offseason. He scored in a 6-2 win at Troyes last month.
Reyna, who has struggled with fitness in recent seasons, started all four games -- contributing two assists -- for the U.S. men's national team in the recent international break.
Strasbourg has now lost its last three games to fall down to 12th in the Ligue 1 standings, but Reyna said the team can take plenty of positives from Saturday's performance.
"In my opinion, if we played many other teams in the league like we played tonight we come away with three points and we're very happy right now," he told reporters. "But in the end PSG came here and took their chances and was very, very dangerous.
"We just have to keep going and put the last two games that maybe weren't as good behind us and use this mentality and the way we played today as the standard of what we should do every week. If we do this, I'm sure we're gonna win many games this season."
PSG coach Luis Enrique evidently had Tuesday's Champions League clash with Barcelona in mind as he started with Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi all on the bench.
They were on the field by the time Dembélé fired a penalty wide in the 72nd after Pape Demba Diop was penalized for hand ball.
But Ukraine defender Illya Zabarnyi finally equalized five minutes later, Dembélé popped up with what seemed the winner in the 85th, and Doué made sure in stoppage time.
"I thought we did really well to work as a team to keep them quiet for the first 70 minutes," Reyna added. "Then, obviously, if you bring guys like this onto the pitch it's not easy, you see what they've done the last two seasons, they're the best team in the world.
"Of course there's things we can still do better and expect out of ourselves to stop these actions but you have to give respect when respect is due and we gave everything tonight so a lot to be proud of."
