Striker Ropapa Mensah became the first player to score a goal for MLS franchise team Nashville SC in their 3-1 defeat to Atlanta United SC on Saturday at First Tennessee State Park.
The young forward came off the bench at halftime and scored the first goal for Nashville SC in the 64th minute in their first game.
Mensah, who had long spotted the goalkeeper already after receiving a through pass from Alan Winn, chipped the ball over Atlanta goalkeeper Alec Kann for the equalizer.
''I am happy because out of the whole Nashville SC team, I am the one who scored,' he told Nashville SC official website.
''We are so proud to have so many supporters behind the team.''
He scored seven goals and provided two assists in 2017 for Harrisburg City Islanders now Penn FC.
