Bruce Arena's Los Angeles Galaxy knew that they could not let Chivas USA get their hands on the Doug Hamilton Trophy just yet. After a 1-0 defeat to Robin Fraser's Goats in the first meeting, the Galaxy provided a much-improved performance, defeating Chivas USA 3-1 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA.

With the victory, the Galaxy improve to 9-10-3 (30 points) and are breathing down the necks of the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps. Chivas USA drop to 6-8-5 (23 points) but still have three games in hand over Los Angeles.
