Inescapably Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 21/USL Week 19

A neat little Canadian drama unfolded in Saturday night’s game between Toronto FC and the Chicago Fire.

The Great Lakes battle saw Raheem Edwards, the former Toronto FC player who had just been traded to Chicago by the Montreal Impact, set up Nemanja Nikolic for the equalizer. Basically, Edwards got the first touch to a free kick, and cushioned a ball towards Nikolic, leaving his teammate no other choice but to do anything but score. But the game remained 1-1 for a just a scant few minutes as Jonathan Osorio pounced on a dreadful goalkeeping error to score TFC’s second goal, and it stood up as the decider in a 2-1 game.

Also worthy of note; Kyle Bekker, a former Toronto FC draft pick, scored for NCFC in a win over TFCII in USL action.

Here are the rankings after the 21st week of MLS play/19th week of USL action:
