09/09/2007 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - CD Chivas USA will be looking to extend its home unbeaten streak when another Eastern Conference power - Red Bull New York - visits The Home Depot Center Sunday in a Major League Soccer fixture.
The Goats came back from a two-goal deficit against D.C., the hottest team in the league, Thursday, to earn a 2-2 draw and extend its home unbeaten streak to nine games.
"I thought we could have won (the D.C. game)," Chivas USA forward Ante Razov said. "We were the better team, for sure. To come back from two-nil down, against a team like them is a positive sign. We started flat tonight, but in the second half we came back out with a little more energy."
"I thought we started pretty slow," Chivas USA coach Preki said, "basically, handing them two goals. After that, it was an uphill climb. I give my guys a lot of credit. they showed a lot of character tonight to come back from two- nothing down against the best team in the league. That shows how far we have come as a group. Obviously, we have never beat D.C., or even taken a point from them, so this is good for out confidence as well."
Defender Lawson Vaughn scored the game-tying goal late after Sacha Kljestan passed to him at the top of the box. he fired a shot that was deflected by a United defender before finding the back of the net.
"It is my first (MLS) goal," Vaughn said. "I just tried to keep the ball low, on target. it was a great ball by Sacha. He had it and took on a couple of defenders, as he always does and does so well. I saw it and he just laid it out perfectly for me."
There Red Bulls are coming off a hard-fought 1-0 win over Chicago last weekend on a Juan Pablo Angel late winner.
"I think it was a good goal, pretty lucky," Angel said. "I think it was a good play from Dane (Richards). He was a threat the whole game. He kept going and at the end we found one chance and we took it. I just wanted to hit it once because the goalkeeper was on his way out and I just took him by surprise I think.
"I was waiting for one opportunity. I was begging for it and at the end it came and it was good to score," he added.
"It was a difficulty game," New York coach Bruce Arena said. "Chicago came in with a game plan that obviously took on a defensive posture that was difficult to break down. It made it difficult for us and it was pretty predictable from the opening kickoff that it was going to be a 1-0 game. We knew during the week that we would have to create goal scoring opportunities and fortunately we finished off a good opportunity. At this point in the year, it is critical to separate yourself with teams in the conference and that was certainly accomplished (against Chicago)."
Arena expects a tight, defensive game Sunday, similar to the one against Chicago last weekend.
"A lot of teams are going to be very well organized and difficult to break down (down the stretch) and I think we will see it Sunday in L.A. with Chivas," he said.
New York will probably be without its second-leading scorer, Jozy Altidore, in the game for the second straight week because of what the Red Bulls are calling a lower leg injury.
The game is critical for both sides as New York is fighting to stay within striking distance of eastern leaders D.C. and New England and Chivas looks to overtake the Houston Dynamo in the West.
After Sunday's fixture, New York travel to Chicago for a match at Toyota Park next Saturday while CD Chivas USA plays Thursday against L.A. in the Super Clasico.
