In front of a packed house, a penalty kick in stoppage time by Juan Pablo Angel sentenced the match in favor of MLS’s Chivas USA, despite dominance by the RailHawks for most of the game. The RailHawks attempted to have another come from behind win after being down on the scoreboard in the first half off a Juan Agudelo goal. Mike Palacio scored the equalizer in the 79th minute to deadlock the game 1-1. The crowd of 7,117 once again played a decisive role as the 12thMan of the team.
