With a new season of MLS football, I was invited to cover the Chivas USA attempt to take on the Houston Dynamo. I have always been saying that the Chivas USA is on the cusp of something big, where they can show up against better known opposition. This game was the same case, with the Dynamo scoring in the final minutes of the second half to eventually defeat the Chivas USA 1-0. Here are a few photos I liked from the game.
