triggering segue after an ibaction

Question

I'm trying to perform a segue after my IBAction has already happend. This is my code and as you can see when I press the button I make a get request with alamofire. The problem is that the request is (as I understand) an async method so the segue will unwind and perform eve if the getPlayer method hasn't done what it's supposed to. The only way I could fix it is by putting the perfomrsegue method inside an if statement where I check for the value of person.name, but I have to press the button twice and I just can't figure out how to solve this!

@IBAction func getPlayerPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {

    userDefaults.set(tagTextField.text!, forKey: "userTag")
    let userTag = userDefaults.string(forKey: "userTag")
    getPlayerData(with: userTag!)
    performSegue(withIdentifier: "goToPlayerProfile", sender: self)
 }
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    let destionationVC = segue.destination as! PlayerProfileViewController
    destionationVC.playerName = player.name
    print(destionationVC.playerName)
    print("prepared for segue")
}


func getPlayerData (with tag: String) {
    let finalURL = baseURL + tag
    Alamofire.request(finalURL, headers: headers).responseJSON { (response) in
        if response.result.isSuccess {
            print("Got player data!")
            let playerJSON = JSON(response.result.value!)
            self.player.name = playerJSON["name"].stringValue
            print(self.player.name)
        } else {
            print("Error: \(response.result.error!)")
        }
    }

Perform segue after async alamofire request is completed.

func getPlayerData (with tag: String) {
    let finalURL = baseURL + tag
    Alamofire.request(finalURL, headers: headers).responseJSON { (response) in
        if response.result.isSuccess {
            print("Got player data!")
            let playerJSON = JSON(response.result.value!)
            self.player.name = playerJSON["name"].stringValue
            print(self.player.name)
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "goToPlayerProfile", sender: self)
            }
        } else {
            print("Error: \(response.result.error!)")
        }
    }
}
