CARSON, Calif. - Chivas USA fell to Real Salt Lake by a 2-0 score on Tuesday afternoon in Casa Grande, Ariz., in the second of three scrimmages the team will play at Grande Sports World during the week-long training stint. The Red-and-White will play the Vancouver Whitecaps on Friday before returning to Los Angeles.
Chivas USA started the match with a group similar to the eleven that finished last Saturday's scrimmage against the Seattle Sounders, and after a scoreless first half, the team made wholesale changes around the 60 minute mark. Just after the substitutes came on, Salt Lake took advantage while the Red-and-White were getting settled, with defender Jamison Olave scoring on a header off an Andy Williams corner kick. In the 72nd minute, Will Johnson hit RSL's second goal, coming off an assist from Alvaro Saborio.
With the result, Chivas USA falls to 2-2 on the preseason, and will look to get back on track on Friday against the Vancouver Whitecaps in a game that will be played at 11:00 a.m. MT (10:00 a.m. PT) at Grande Sports World in Arizona.
