When Chicago Fire midfielder and MLS debutant John Goossens bombed a left-footed ball out of danger near the Fire penalty area, he surely had little reason to believe it was a play that would lead to his first assist as a member of the Men In Red.
But such are the possibilities when Ghanaian Designated Player David Accam is the man on the receiving end of those clearances. With the Fire trailing 1-0 in the 14th minute, Accam set off on a 50-yard sprint past Orlando City SC defender Seb Hines, winning possession and slotting his shot past goalkeeper Joe Bendik.
