Although the Los Angeles Galaxy runs the LA MLS scene for the most part, there is a strong following for Chivas USA. It is always a constant struggle for the little brother in town, but they had a chance to make it into the playoffs, even though the odds were slim. The 1-1 final score gave them that chance, which allowed Chivas USA to make their own path to the playoffs. Here are a few photos I liked from the game.
