DEBUT OF A DESIGNATED PLAYER
Forward Ángelo Rodriguez was given the start in his first appearance for the club and teased the sold-out crowd with a glimpse of the ability that convinced Minnesota to make him its second Designated Player.
Despite coming to the team just a few weeks ago, Rodriguez was chomping at the bit to get onto the field. His season with Deportes Tolima in Colombia only ended in early June and he quickly showed the coaching staff he was fit and ready to go.
“I felt really good and felt I had a pretty good game,” Rodriguez said.
