Chivas USA Stumble in Salt Lake in Playoff Opener
100 Percent Soccer —
Chivas USA Coach Preki looked like someone had punched him in the gut on the Fox Soccer Channel post-game interview after his team conceded the game's lone goal in the 90th minute. Pasadena City College product Yura Movsisyan scored the worthy game winner with a sweet touch for a Real Salt Lake team that may have played its best game of the season.
Until then Chivas USA had successfully repelled what was at times a wonderfully inventive and expressive Real Salt Lake attack; the home team finished with 21 shots to just three for their opponents. Goalkeeper Zach Thornton was effective upon his return to goal in place of the suspended Dan Kennedy, ...

Of the eight teams, we have one winner, one loser, and six, count ‘em six teams with one point apiece. Weekend results: NE 0-0 Chicago A scintillating nil-nil draw. Or…well…not so much, except for that nil-nil part. New England has knocked ...

Though the score was only 1-0 it was, for our money, probably the ...
