United falls to Chivas 1-0

Chivas de Guadalajara used their home-field advantage to its full extent, defeating D.C. United 1-0 in the second leg of their Copa Sudamericana series on Tuesday night at Estadio Jalisco to advance on away goals.

In last Wednesday's first leg at RFK Stadium, D.C. United played a man down for more than a half, and despite taking a 2-0 lead, saw Sergio Santana pull one back for Chivas heading into the second leg. That goal proved to be the decider, after the teams finished the series 2-2 on aggregate.

The lads played a good game, but just couldn't come up with a goal in the closing moments.

For the United that's it for the tournament competitions. The only two things they can win are the Supporters Shield (which they have a really good chance at) and MLS Cup.
