Borussia Dortmund internationals: Thorgan Hazard on target, Gio Reyna through to Nations League final
Three Borussia Dortmund players were in action for their national teams on Thursday evening. Thorgan Hazard and Thomas Meunier continued their preparations for the Euros, while Gio Reyna qualified for the Concacaf Nations League final.
Borussia Dortmund duo Thorgan Hazard and Thomas Meunier started as the two wing-backs as Belgium took on Greece on Thursday in the first of their two warm-up games ahead of the Euros. Hazard opened the scoring for Belgium in the 20th minute with a neat finish after getting on the end of a low cross from Yannick Carrasco.
But Greece found their equaliser in the second half, with Georgios Tzavellas scoring to ensure a share of the spoils.
Axel Witsel was not part of the Belgium squad on Thursday. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is back in training as he continues his recovery from the torn achilles tendon he suffered in January. Manuel Akanji did not feature either as Switzerland thrashed Liechtenstein 7-0.
Gio Reyna was also in action on Thursday as the United States faced Honduras in the semi-finals of the Concacaf Nations League. The Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder set up a golden chance for himself early in the game after cutting through the Honduras defence with a darting run into the box. But he sent his shot just wide of goal.
In the end, an 89th minute winner from Jordan Siebatcheu was enough to send the United States through to the final. Reyna and the USMNT will go up against Mexico in the final of the Concacaf Nations League on Sunday.
