Final Result: Chivas USA at FC Dallas

FC Dallas 0 Chivas USA 2

Two delightful second half goals by Mexican striker Eduardo Lillingston and Serbian midfielder Bojan Stepanovic proved enough to dispatch Dallas on their home turf and send the now 2-0 Chivas USA to the top of the MLS standings (where they are tied with expansion team Seattle).

The first goal came from a lovely setup by debutant Gerson Mayen, whose precise delivery enabled Lillingston to glide the ball home virtually without breaking stride in the 56th minute. It was almost the first thing Lillingston had done all game.

The second came all of six minutes after Stepanovic had entered the game for Lillingston. The Serbian seized upon an opportunity to pick up a loose ball deep in the Dallas half in the 75th minute, ran at a startled Steve Purdy and helped himself to a goal on his MLS debut.

Dallas falls to 0-2.

    Chivas USA played awful during the first half, the second half coming back 2-0. Thornton has earned 1 spot as goal keeper, sorry Kennedy.
