Week 13 started off with a big matchup between the red-hot Chicago Fire and FC Dallas. Nemanja Nikolic would score his eleventh goal of the season in the big 2-1 win for the fire. Toronto followed that up on Friday with a 5-0 thrashing of the Columbus Crew, all without Sebastian Gioivinco and Jozy Altidore. It was the weekend of the bottom feeders as the Colorado Rapids, Real Salt Lake, and Minnesota United all picked up much-needed wins.
Would Toronto FC be able to retain top spot after their big win over Columbus, or would a surging Chicago Fire squad catch them?
