Chivas USA out of SuperLiga, Dynamo through
That's because the first SuperLiga game today ended Houston Dynamo 1 Puebla 0.
The result renders the Chivas USA-Pachuca game that kicks off at 7:30 p.m. in Carson meaningless. Puebla had already qualified for the next round before a ball was kicked today.
So I'm skipping the HDC game (at least in person).
Here is the starting XI for Chivas USA: Kennedy, Trujillo (capt.), Delgado, Borja, Jazic; Espinoza, Lahoud, Gavin, Romero, Maldonado, Padilla.
Pachuca starts Herculez Gomez up top, but there's no Jose Torres in midfield.
The game is live on Galavision.
