Minnesota coach Adrian Heath was delighted to see the former Maritzburg United striker get off the mark in the MLS.
“We’ve got a really good group. There’s a real good camaraderie and togetherness within the group. It was a great run from Bongi [Bongokuhle Hlongwane] , beautifully timed run from Fraga [Franco Fragapane]," Heath said, as per the club's official website. "Then his quality came through and I’m so pleased for Bongi to get his goal because if ever a kid’s deserved a goal with the amount of work he does on both sides of the ball and if we can get him to consistently score goals from that position with the energy levels that he has to play then, as I said a few months ago when he arrived, we think there is a player there and we’ve got to give him time.
"I don’t think people realize what a culture shock it's been leaving Africa for the first time. We’re delighted for him and you could see with the response of the rest of the group how pleased for him they were.”
