Nothing like a little Chivas to chase away the blues

​Nothing cures a bad loss for the Houston Dynamo like a meeting with Chivas USA. Saturday the Dynamo scored two early goals to beat the Goats 2-0 at the Home Depot Center in SoCal.

In the fourth minute of the match, Brad Davis connected with a sliding lob to put the ball in the back of the net. Four minutes later, Davis took a corner kick that found a wide open Adrian Serioux, who headed home a power goal.

Those two goals would be all the Dynamo would need to get their first road win of the season. Good too, because their offense was non-existent after those first eight minutes. Luis Angel Landin came in as a second-half sub -- replacing Dominic Oduro -- but didn't really get involved in the match. Brian Ching, who's coming off injury, warmed up in the second half but didn't get his number called.

With the win, the Dynamo are now in sole possession of second place in the Western Conference, behind the undefeated LA Galaxy. It's been 11 games since the Dynamo last lost to Chivas USA, and the Dynamo have now taken the season series between the two clubs with two shut-out victories. If anyone has the Goats' number, it would be the Orange. Who's your daddy, Chivas?

If you can't get Liverpool, settle for Man U

​Sueno MLS winner a Houstonian
