Ghanaian winger Patrick Nyarko has expressed his delight for contributing a crucial goal that earned a point for Chicago Fire as they held Houston Dynamo to a 1-1 draw in Friday night.Ã
The 29-year-oldà returned to action earlier this week in a US Open Cup match after a nine-month absence following an anterior cruciate ligament injury last year, and he then came off the bench to score the equalizer in Friday nightââ¬â¢s stalemate.
"Iââ¬â¢m glad I was able to help, but kudos to the guys, they came out fighting, and they know now this is what it takes to win games in this league. Every single game, this is what it would take to win it," he said.
"Iââ¬â¢m proud. Iââ¬â¢m proud of the guys. I think we found something special at the end of the game, how we reacted after the goal, is how we need to play every game and the guys realized that."
Nyarkoà impressed with a late cameo in the Fireââ¬â¢s 3-1 USOC victory over the Charlotte Independence on Tuesday, and made a similarly telling impact following his halftime introduction at BBVA Compass Stadium on Friday
