Chivas back home, back to winning
Chivas USA had many happy returns on Saturday.
The club returned to The Home Depot Center after a brief two-game road swing with three starters back in tow and picked up yet another home victory as Chivas USA beat the Columbus Crew 2-1 on Saturday.
With the win, Chivas USA improved to 6-0-1 at home and tightened its grip on third place in the Western Conference table.
"Over the last two years, there's something about playing for these fans and something about playing for this club that everybody takes pride in," Chivas midfielder Jesse Marsch said. "Whether it's here and in Chicago, where we have a lot of our fans come out, you feel a responsibility to try and show that you have a lot of pride in the colors and you have a lot of pride in this team. I think there is an underlying feeling within the whole group about that."
Aside from the fervent following that showed up to cheer on Chivas USA, the group was boosted by the return of three U.S. national team players. Jonathan Bornstein missed the last six games because of Gold Cup and Copa America while Sacha Kljestan and Brad Guzan missed three because of Copa America.
