Winger David Accam became the first Ghanaian to score a hatrick in the Major League Soccer following Chicago Fire 4-0 win over Orlando City.
David Accam scored the first of his three goals in the third minute when he cooly backheeled a Matt Polster cross past Joe Bendik.
Then, in the eighth minute Accam got his second, latching onto a ball over the top from Bastian Schweinsteiger and rounding Bednik to double the lead. Within eight minutes he had his first brace in MLS play.
In the 52nd minute Accam created the third, driving at the Orlando City backline before placing a pass perfectly between two defenders for Nemanja Nikolic, who finished for his 14th goal of the year.
Accam later drew and converted a penalty for the fourth. He said there wasn’t any argument between himself and Golden Boot leader Nikolic about taking the penalty.
In the 80th minute, Accam walked off to a standing ovation with international duty ahead of him. The 26-year-old said he will be leaving Sunday to join Ghana ahead of its upcoming international friendlies against Mexico and the United States.
