On Saturday, March 12, FC Dallas finally turned things around with a 2-0 win over Nashville SC.
It was the Argentinians who stole the show as Franco Jara tucked away the late, game-winning penalty. Soon after, Alan Velasco, the team’s new 19-year-old prospect, exceeded expectations with a 50-yard run and wonder-goal to mark his debut with the club.
A few more adjustments to Nico Estévez’s system was just what the team needed, as they were able to dominate Nashville for the full 90 minutes. A tactical shift that dropped midfielder Paxton Pomykal further back on defense allowed for players like Marco Farfan and Brandon Servania to push further upfield.
