Although the Chivas USA and Los Angeles Galaxy share the same stadium, when they are scheduled to play they both have home field advantage. The Los Angeles Galaxy has a bigger following, so this could out shadow the Chivas USA fans. But the game ended up in a close 1-0 win for the Galaxy, allowing them to further establish their hold on the Los Angeles market. Here are a few photos I liked from the match, enjoy.
