In the United States men’s World Cup match against Paraguay, midfielder Gio Reyna scores in the team’s 4–1 victory and uses the moment to announce personal news. Multiple outlets report that Reyna finds the net with a “trivela” style goal late in the match, described as coming in the 98th minute, and then reveals that his wife is pregnant during his celebration.
Yahoo Sports and other coverage describe Reyna’s goal celebration as timed to feel like the “perfect time” to share the announcement. The New York Post and Daily Mail add that Reyna says he has known about the pregnancy for “a couple months” and waited for an appropriate moment. Fox News similarly states that Reyna makes the pregnancy announcement in connection with the goal and celebration, while the other sources place the timing immediately after the final whistle or shortly afterward in the wake of the United States’ win.
Across reports, there is consistent agreement on the match result, the type and late timing of the goal, and Reyna’s pregnancy announcement during the celebration.
