Since joining the Chicago Fire in early August, Brazilian striker Gilberto acclimated well to his new squad, finishing with five goals and two assists in 10 appearances after tallying in Sunday's season-finale vs. New York Red Bulls. His latest strike -- a stinging 78th-minute side-volley -- is up for Major League Soccer's final Goal of the Week honor in 2015.
