David Accam named in MLS Team of the Week

Ghanaian winger David Accam has been named in the Major League Soccer (MLS) team of the week.

Accam, 26, was included in the team after registering a goal for Chicago Fire in the 4-1 mauling of Seattle Sounders over the weekend.

Accam put the Men In Red ahead in the 60th minute after Drew Conner, Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Michael de Leeuw linked up a series of passes along the Seattle 18-yard box.

The Dutchman found some space and played a low ball for Accam to arrive onto and coolly place past goalkeeper Stefan Frei.

The goal has also been nominated for the MLS Goal of the Week.

Accam was joined by Chicago Fire striker teammate Nemanja Nikolić who also scored against Seattle Sounders in the 3-5-2 line-up.

The Ghanaian international has scored three goals and provided an assist so far for Chicago Fire this season.
