For the second week in a row, the Chicago Fire have a player in the MLS Team of the Week. Dax McCarty, that guy, earned a spot in this week’s best XI for his efforts in a 1-0 win over rivals Columbus Crew last Saturday.
McCarty’s performance against Columbus, was, to put it simply, incredible. He set up the only goal of the match in the 22nd minute by slotting Nemanja Nikolic through on goal. The pass from the American international was inch-perfect, and his Hungarian teammate finished it coolly.
To go along with his assist, McCarty also had an impressive passing display.
