Robert Lewandowski opened his account for Chicago Fire by scoring both goals in a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Charlotte FC in the latest round of the Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season.

The Polish striker delivered a match-winning performance, netting twice to inspire Chicago Fire to all three points. It marked an important milestone for the club's marquee summer signing, who had failed to score in his first two appearances following his move from FC Barcelona.

After a quiet start to life in MLS, Lewandowski showed exactly why Chicago Fire invested in one of world football's most prolific goalscorers. His clinical finishing proved decisive as the hosts secured a valuable home win.

The 36-year-old joined Chicago Fire from FC Barcelona earlier this summer, signing a contract that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2028 season..
