Crew 2 Chivas USA 1
Chivas USA (8-4-3) have one MLS win in six games going into SuperLiga; surging Columbus now haven’t lost in nine games.
Notable: Chivas USA are tied with the Dyanmo for the lead in the Western Conference; Houston has two games in hand.
Quotable:
“We don’t want to make any excuses but for whatever reason, we ran out of gas,” said Chivas USA Coach Preki. “I’m surprised in the first goal that they got off a goal kick. It’s the second time we concede a goal off a goal kick … first in Houston. It’s the exact same play. So it’s disappointing … It happens in soccer, it’s a fast game, you got to think fast, react fast, and we certainly didn’t react fast”
Chivas USA now has three consecutive Super Liga games beginning Saturday against Tigres.
