Final Result: New England Revolution at Chivas USA
If you're a Chivas USA fan, you're not pulling for Pachuca in the night's second SuperLiga game up in San Jose.
The 1-1 draw between the Revs and Chivas USA at Cal State Fullerton this evening means a Pachuca tie or win against Santos Laguna puts the Red and White out of the tournament.
Not the most scintillating game it must be said and for a while it looked like Ante Razov's sixth goal in six straight games in the 52nd minute would be the difference. Daniel Paladini had split the defense with a prescient through ball, Razov got on the end of it, shot straight at goalkeeper Matt Reis with his first shot, but scored with a second effort.
The Revs equalized in the 79th minute from a Steve Ralston corner kick, Shalrie Joseph getting the header in that beat goalkeeper Dan Kennedy and Daniel Paladini, who was standing on the line.
New England, by the way, are through to the next round.
