In the 38th minute of Saturday night’s visit from the Philadelphia Union, forward Nemanja Nikoliu0107 recorded his latest entry in the Chicago Fire history books.
In true Nikoliu0107 fashion, the 31-year-old found himself positioned perfectly inside the Union six-yard box to tap in a low, first-time cross from midfielder Przemysu0142aw Frankowski and deliver the Fire an early lead. The goal was Nikoliu0107’s 49th career finish in MLS regular season play, surpassing Chris Rolfe (48) and giving him sole possession of second place on the Club’s all-time regular season scoring charts.
