Chivas USA Slumps to Loss in Boston
Conceding three goals inside the last nine minutes of the game condemned Chivas USA to a 4-0 defeat against the New England Revolution Thursday and put their place in the third and final playoff spot in the Western Conference in jeopardy.
The result tied Chivas USA for their second highest margin of defeat of the season.
Chivas USA were without nine starters through international call-ups, injury and suspensions; the Revs were playing their 11th game in 38 days.
