Real Salt Lake @ Chivas USA

by Robert Daeley, Sun, 2006-10-15

Last game of the season for Chivas USA, who have already clinched a playoff spot (unlike the other team that plays here). This was my first time attending a game live at the Home Depot Center -- a very nice venue that lived up to its description and seeing it on TV:

Alex came down from Hollywood to meet me:

A fun game to take in, with Chivas leading 1-0 for most of the time...

...until a pretty bicycle kick in the 89th minute tied it up for RSL. That happened just after the Chivas fanatics behind the goal attacked en masse with confetti, streamers, and smoke grenades:

Anyhow, a good time and definitely recommended.
