Opportunistic as always, Nemanja Nikolic delivered once again for the Hungarian National Team in Tuesday's international friendly against a 2018 FIFA World Cup-bound Costa Rican side.

The prolific Fire striker and 2017 MLS Golden Boot winner scored for the second time in as many games, following up his set piece goal vs. Luxembourg last Thursday with another goal from a restart Tuesday in Budapest. Nikolic's intuitive redirection of a free kick at the top of the penalty area froze Costa Rican GK Lionel Moreira in the 37th minute, a tally that stood up as the game's only goal.
