After establishing himself in the senior Dortmund roster in the second half of 2019/20, Reyna played himself into the first-team during pre-season by scoring four goals in six outings.

Head coach Lucian Favre kept faith in the teenager on Matchday 1, fielding him in attacking midfield against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The USA youth international continued his fine form by scoring the opening goal - his first in the Bundesliga - finishing from a difficult angle from Jude Bellingham's pass. He also won the penalty with a driving run that allowed Erling Haaland to score BVB's second of the game in a 3-0 win.

Sargent played from start to finish, but was unable to find the target in a 4-1 defeat.
