Close but no cigar.

TFC almost played the spoiler, but a Chicago Fire loss saw Montreal squeak into the playoffs despite Toronto defeating them 1-0 on Saturday afternoon. It was a rare organized and efficient performance from the Reds as they thoroughly dominated Montreal more most of the ninety minutes. Even when Montreal were able to create solid chances, Joe Bendik was there to shut the door. The season is done and it's all looking back on the year and putting it all into perspective heading towards 2014.
