Ghanaian player saves Chicago Fire’s blushes in US Open Cup

David Accam scored an equalizer in extra time before scoring the winning penalty in the US Open Cup for the Chicago Fire.

Accam started the game in which his team played the full 90 minutes against Indy Eleven with neither sides finding the back of the net.

Extra time however proved to be an exciting encounter as a goal from each team ended 120 minutes of football plus additional time 1-1.

The Ghana international who had struck the bar in the 23rd minute of the game showed some brilliance in extra time when his team were down by a goal to nil courtesy Justin Braun.

Accam showed some good dribbling skills before scoring the equalizer for Chicago Fire to send the game into a penalty shootout.
