Already holding a 2-0 lead at home, Reyna would score in the 39th and 59th minutes respectively to extend Dortmund’s advantage to 4-0. 14-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko capped his hat trick in the 64th minute for the German side.
Slavia Praha pulled a consolation back, but Dortmund would be marching on in the tournament.
The 17-year-old Reyna now has four goals and one assist in four appearances in the Youth League. In total, Reyna has seven goals and seven assists in 15 appearances in all competitions.
He was in Dortmund’s Bundesliga squad for last weekend’s match against Fortuna Dusseldorf, but did not feature in a 5-0 win.
