In front of just over 5,000 fans at Robertson Stadium, a mix of regulars and reserves had Houston in the lead 6 minutes in when Lovel Palmer scored. Chivas USA needed 65 minutes to get that goal back, with Jesus Padilla equalizing in the 71st. Though Houston outshot Chivas USA 16 to 6, they only put 4 of those on frame to Chivas USA’s 3. Both teams started backup keepers, with Tally Hall in goal for Houston and Dan Kennedy replacing Zach Thornton for Chivas USA.
