Last Game vs. Chivas USA

Earthquakes 0, Chivas USA 2; July 6, 2011; The Home Depot Center; Carson, Calif.

In the most recent meeting between these teams, Chivas USA posted a 2-0 shutout victory at home inside The Home Depot Center last

July 6, completing the two-game season sweep of the Earthquakes. The Goats got a pair of second-half goals by Ben Zemanski in the

64th minute and fellow midfielder Nick LaBrocca in the 84th. Zemanski’s was a bending, long-range strike from 30 yards after coming on

as a substitute just six minutes prior. Jon Busch wound up with six saves for San Jose, while counterpart Dan Kennedy made three

stops in notching the clean sheet for Chivas USA.

 

Off the injury list, Lahoud is ready to make an impact for Goats

After a lengthy stay on the injury list to start the season, Chivas USA midfielder Michael Lahoud is champing at the bit to return to action for the Rojiblancos.Fresh off recovering from a left hamstring strain that kept him sidelined for the first two months of the season, the 25-year-old winger made his season debut last week against the Chicago Fire, going nine minutes in a disappointing 2-1 stoppagetime defeat.
