David Accam puts on Messi-esque move in Chicago Fire's Open Cup win

David Accam, Khaly Thiam - Chicago Fire - celebrating in US Open Cup

David Accam had himself a night on Wednesday, scoring Chicagoā€™s first goal then setting up Michael de Leeuw for the Fireā€™s second in the clubā€™s 3-0 win over the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers in the US Open Cup quarterfinals.

Thatā€™s dirty. And if it looks familiar, that's because you may remember Lionel Messi doing something similar in a Champions League game last year.
