Club Deportivo Chivas USA News Release


Chivas USA fell 3-1 tonight to the Charleston Battery of the USL First Division in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The Red-and-White will return to Los Angeles tomorrow morning to prepare for the second Honda Super Clásico match of the season against the LA Galaxy on July 11 at The Home Depot Center.

- The Red-and-White was looking to advance past the Third Round of the knockout tournament for the first time since 2005. Charleston is currently in second place in the USL First Division and advanced to the final of last year's Open Cup, losing to D.C. United for the championship.

Patterson received the ball and took a shot that beat Chivas USA goalkeeper Lance Parker. The second goal was scored just before the halftime whistle on a pass by Darren Spicer to Patterson, who shot before entering the box and scored his second goal of the night. Jesse Marsch had tied the game 1-1 at the 28th minute on a pass by Sasha Victorine. Tsuyoshi Yoshitake scored the last goal of the match at the 90 minute for the Charleston Battery.
