Ghana striker David Accam scored his first MLS goal on Friday night to give his side Chicago Fire a 1-0 win over 10-man New York City FC.
The pacy winger who had tormented the City defenders all-night capitalized on a defensive mistake in the 20th minute.
Second-choice NYCFC goalkeeper Ryan Meara came out of his area to prevent the ball from going out of bounds, but he mishandled it and Accam dribbled back to an empty net.
Accam put pressure on NYCFC’s defense for most of the game.
He was taken down from behind on a breakaway in the 23rd minute, which sent Andrew Jacobson off the field with a red card.
He also curled a shot off the post in the first half and forced quality saves by Meara in the 63rd and 83rd minutes.
Chicago Fire have won for the third time in a row.
