Talk about a strange half.
In the first 45 minutes of the Chicago Fire’s game against the New England Revolution, Nemanja Nikoliu0107’s performance resembled the 1993 film “Groundhog Day” at times. The Hungarian striker just kept living the same situation over and over again.
The first was a pair of misses inside of 20 minutes, as the final touch eluded the 2017 Golden Boot winner. He pushed narrowly wide in the 14th minute after being played over the top by Bastian Schweinsteiger, then was one touch too heavy on a breakaway in the 16th minute.
