April 24 (Reuters) - David Accam fired into an empty net after a goalkeeping blunder to give Chicago a 1-0 win over 10-man New York City FC on Friday in Major League Soccer.
The Ghanian international's 20th minute goal was enough for the Fire (3-3-0) to post a third consecutive win.
NYCFC's backup goalkeeper Ryan Meara, in place for the suspended Josh Saunders, mishandled the ball when trying to prevent a corner, allowing Accam to swoop.
Three minutes later, Accam drew the foul that would put NYCFC a man down after breaking clear, taken down by Andrew Jacobson.
