Saturday Night Live? More like Nikolic Night Live.

On Saturday night in front of a packed house at Toyota Chicago Fire forward Nemanja Nikolic stole the show, scoring twice and adding an assist in the club’s 4-1 defeat of the Seattle Sounders. David Accam and Luis Solignac would get in on the scoring fun for the Fire while Clint Dempsey provided the lone ray of sunshine for their Cascadian foes.
