Bryan Reyna registered his first start with Belgrano against Club Atlético Miter in the match corresponding to the thirty-second finals of the 2024 Argentine Cup. The member of the Peruvian team was the protagonist of a ‘blooper’, since the TyC Sports journalists confused his nationality and they called him “Chilean” on repeated occasions.

The incident occurred at 18 minutes, when the former Alianza Lima received the ball and began to overflow on the left wing. At that moment, the narrator Pablo Sincini pointed out: “There is Reyna, the Chilean follows on the left.” The attack concluded with the Peruvian making a deep pass for his teammate, left-back Matías Ibacache, who does come from Chile, and who ended up taking a cross that was cleared by the rival defense.
Just one minute later, in a new play, the one born in Pacasmayo received a ball from the side, withstood the marking of two defenders and gave a pass to the middle from the ground, although the judge invalidated the action by charging a controversial foul on the former Cantolao player, a fact that unleashed the fury of his coach Óscar Farré, who considered that the infraction did not exist.

Quickly, commentator Pablo Gonzáles began to analyze the play, and once again referred to the national soccer player as Chilean: “They both hold on, but there is an outstretched hand that grabs the defender’s shirt. Then they both grab each other, but initially the one who takes it is the Chilean, it’s Reyna,” he commented.
The match did not go well at all for Belgrano, as they lost 2-1 and were prematurely eliminated from the competition. A fact that is considered a failure, taking into account that their rival was from the second division.

However, Bryan Reyna was one of the highlights of the team, starting on the left wing, but sometimes leaning back on the right. The native of La Libertad demonstrated all his talent and daring, constantly unbalancing on both sides. His most notable action came in the 68th minute, when he recovered a ball, took out two rivals and put in a perfect cross for his teammate Juan Barinaga to reduce the score.

But this was not his only notable maneuver, but minutes before he had the chance to score his first goal in Argentina, as he received the ball on the left, and after hooking Juan Alessandroni towards the middle, he inserted himself into the rival area and He took a powerful shot with his right foot, although goalkeeper Luciano Jachfe managed to deflect the ball.
In fact, various ‘pirate’ fans considered him on social networks as one of the few players who were saved from the team’s poor performance: “Bryan Reyna is putting Belgrano on his shoulders in this match. How good it is! He deserves a start in the next game”, “Bryan Reyna. He is playing totally alone, top performance” and “Belgrano is not dead thanks to Bryan Reyna” were some of his comments.

Belgrano de Córdoba’s next match will be this Saturday, February 10 at 7:30 p.m., when they receive Godoy Cruz at the Julio César Villagra stadium for the fourth round of the Argentine Professional League.
Let us remember that Bryan Reyna already had the opportunity to debut in the local championship, as he entered in the 63rd minute in the 1-0 defeat in the visit to Newell’s Old Boys in Rosario. Currently the ‘pirate’ is in 12th place in Group B with only one point out of nine possible. Before the arrival of the Peruvian they had added a 1-1 draw with San Lorenzo and another 1-0 loss against Estudiantes de La Plata.
