BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Having decided a close-fought U.S. Open Cup encounter with two timely, clinical finishes, there was little surprise to see two-goal hero David Accam at the center of post-game attention at Toyota Park Wednesday night.

Maintaining his form over 120 minutes despite the hot and humid conditions, the Chicago Fire striker showed his worth to the Men In Red with a mazy dribble and finish to level the match in the 111th minute of a match where a breakthrough proved difficult to find against a resilient and resolute Indy Eleven backline.
