More MLS news… Two weeks ago the Chicago Fire played the New York Red Bulls at home. The end of the game was nearing, and the score was 1-1. The Fire coach decided to make a late substitution and put in Maicon Santos up top. This proved to be a very good decision, when Santos put two balls away into the back of the net in the last seven minutes of the game.
Very rarely does a sub come in and score two late goals. Jeff Crandall runs a blog for the Chicago Fire and he took some time to review the club’s history in terms of late substitution performance. Only on four prior occasions did such notable performances take place: 2011, 2006, 2004, and 2001.
Welcome to the club Santos. Let’s see what you can make out of the rest of this season.
