Bill Hamid, Ola Kamara, and more: Freedom Kicks for 16 September 2021
Soccer, go!

Ola Kamara hat trick leads D.C. United to 3-0 win over Chicago Fire
D.C. United were efficient in the first half, drawing two penalties and keeping a clean sheet in a comprehensive victory. The team jumped up to 5th in the Eastern Conference but there is a lot of congestion in the middle of the table, so wins over teams below them are essential.

If you would like to know why Bill Hamid's return us such a big deal for #DCU, just look below. Hamid has faced 8.3 PSxG (post shot xG) and conceded 7 goals, and Jon Kempin faced 12 PSxG and allowed 17 goals. The numbers say that Hamid is significantly better than Kempin. pic.twitter.com/55tBGv3zq4

We also saw the return of Bill Hamid last night, and it’s always good to see him between the pipes. We’ve also got some specific numbers here on just how much Hamid’s presence means to the success on the field.
Ola Kamara is the fourth @dcunited player with a first-half MLS hat trick. No other team has more than two.
