Fafa Picaut named IBX Live Fearless Union vs. Minnesota Man of the Match

Before he calmly lifted his first goal over a prone Bobby Shuttleworth, Fafa Picault hadn’t touched the ball in almost eight minutes. The Union had put two on the board early and were working the right side of the field heavily.

But one thing that has made Picault stand out all season is how much he does with the opportunities he gets. And after a quick restart put Keegan Rosenberry on the ball in the center of the pitch, Picault got his first opportunity. Splitting the defense, the winger known for his speed had to use his strength to finish off the play, holding off a defender as he let the ball run by him before tapping it home.
