Chivas is OK With 1-all draw Against the Red Bulls

CARSON, Calif. – On Saturday night, Chivas USA had gathered a 1-all draw against the New York Red Bulls and one of the highlights of the game was when Sacha Kljestan was not successful with his penalty kick during the second-half injury time.

Chivas, with a record of 11-9-5, was given the penalty kick because Andrew Boyens, Red Bulls persistent defender has made a handball violation in the box and was warned by referee Alex Prus. Klejestan was given the opportunity to do the penalty kick but even though goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul has dived the wrong way, Klejstan only managed a low shot from the 12-yard spot missing a spot on the left post.

Because of the draw, Chivas and Seattle are now tied for fourth place in the Western Conference and have a standing of sixth overall place with 38 points. For each conference, the two top teams will qualify for the playoffs while the teams that will gather the four total highest points will be awarded the wild-card advantage.
New York with a record of 4-17-6, however, has not made any win yet with its 25 matches that left them 0-18-7 record ever since they won a 2-1 win against Los Angeles at the Home Depot Center last May 10, 2008.

Even at the onset of the game, Chivas has played in their excellent form and did not give any offensive chances to New York. However, the Red Bulls were formidable opponents and Chivas has not been able to break them down only until the 64th minute when Coundoul was beaten by Kljestan by a 25 yard shot. After nine minutes, Maicon Santos of Chivas suddenly hit the crossbar as his team put more force to the goal of the New York’s team.

On the 84th minute, both teams are now tied in the match when Red Bull’s Sinisa Ubiparipovic unexpectedly delivered a cross into the penalty area to Angel and Angel neatly put a header into the net’s back beating Zach Thornton, Chivas goalkeeper. This is Angel’s 10th goal for this season and now garnered a franchise record of 46th in all their competitions.
