David Accam shifts focus to Black Stars

David Accam was on target once again for Chicago Fire even though his side could not nick all three points on the road in Major League Soccer.

Accam struck after 30 minutes to give Fire the lead away to Orlando City but the lead lasted only seven minutes and it stayed that way.

"Razvan Cocis found David Accam with a long, diagonal ball. Racing nearly to the endline, Accam took a touch, brought the ball inside and unleashed a low, driven shot with his right foot on goal past Orlando City goalkeeper Tally Hall," Chaicago's official website reported the strike by the Ghana forward.

It was Accam's goal number seven of the MLS season but the Right to Dream Academy graduate who wasn't too pleased with the dropped points, quickly shifted focus to international duty.

The striker who officially netted his maiden goal for the Ghana national team in the Black Stars' 7-1 romp over Mauritius in their opening qualifying game for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, is keen to hit more heights with the national team when they face Rwanda next in Kigali on September 5.

Accam is one of five strikers named by Israel trainer of the national team, Avram Grant in his 24-man squad for the AFCON 2017 match day 2 tie.
