Rolfe’s feisty play and two-goal first half helped the Chicago Fire capture a 4-1 victory over visiting D.C. United on Saturday.
Rolfe needed just 114 seconds of play before netting his first goal of the night. The Ohio native found himself on the end of a Joel Lindpere cross, which he clinically finished with a one-timed strike to the back of the net.

Moments before the first half whistle, after a combination of one touch passes through the midfield, Rolfe ran onto a through ball from Lindpere and chipped it home to score his second of the night. This was his first multi-goal game of the season.
