Alan Velasco scores in MLS debut to lift FC Dallas 2-0 over Nashville SC

The new era for FC Dallas is finally here as they downed Nashville SC 2-0 on Saturday night to give manger Nico Estevez his first MLS win.

Franco Jara scored a penalty kick late in the game while newly acquired Designated Player Alan Velasco made his debut a memorable one by scoring his first MLS goal.

FC Dallas had a pair of good chances in the first half, both going wide of the net. In the 17th minute, Michael Farfan chased a ball down the side line and was able to find Jader Obrian open in the penalty box who laid the ball off to run of Jesus Ferreira.
