Chivas USA, in its fourth season in Major League Soccer, is now just two wins away from reaching the MLS Cup Final on Nov. 23 at The Home Depot Center. Trailing 1-0 in the two-game, total-goals series, Chivas USA has to win by two goals in tomorrow's Game 2 to advance to the Western Conference Final next weekend against New York or Houston. (A one-goal win by Chivas USA would send this Saturday's game to overtime and penalty kicks, as necessary.)

The first 10,000 fans in attendance at The Home Depot Center will receive a free, limited-edition Chivas USA 2008 playoffs t-shirt. The match will be Bonus Game 'C' for media parking passes and Chivas USA Season Ticket Holders. Tickets, starting at just $14, can be purchased by calling 1-877-CHIVAS-1 or visiting cdchivasusa.com.
