BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – The signing of Nemanja Nikolic didn’t raise too many eyebrows throughout MLS, but the Chicago Fire always knew they had a potential star in a striker who has stormed to the top of the scoring charts with 10 goals in 11 games.
Since his arrival in January, the Serbian-born Hungarian international has quietly gone about his business, doing what he does best in finding occasional openings behind opposing defensive lines and punishing with precision more often than not. He had his second brace of the season in a 3-0 rout of the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday.
