Franco Fragapane’s debut for Minnesota United was a dream one, the new signing scoring in his debut as his club shared a 1-1 result at FC Dallas on Saturday night.

What Franco Fragapane showed in the draw is exactly the type of performance needed to help Minnesota United continue to put together results. He certainly backed up the hype when Minnesota United signed him last month.

The goal came in the 36th minute when Jacori Hayes, after winning a tackle, carried the ball 60 yards down the right channel, feeding a ball to Adrian Hunou at the top of the penalty area.
