Three goals were scored in the span of five minutes during the first half of Chivas USA's 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy in a MLS Reserve League SuperClasico on Tuesday.
Chivas rookie Victor Estupinan netted the opener in the 31st minute, but Hector Jimenez equalized for Los Angeles four minutes later. The Goats responded almost immediately, as Estupinan found the back of the net for the second time in the 36th minute.
Chivas USA added an insurance goal through Chris Cortez in the second half to improve to 1-1-1. The Galaxy fell to 0-2-0.
Here are a couple of other results from the MLS Reserve League:
MYERS' BRACE LIFTS SKC OVER RSL
Chance Myers netted a first-half brace to help lift Sporting Kansas City to a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Myers, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, got on the end of a Milos Stojcev free kick and volleyed a shot into the back of the net at the half-hour mark. Myers netted again just before halftime with a left-footed finish after rookie C.J. Sapong hit him with a pass at the top of the penalty area. Myers came close to a hat-trick in the second half, but he had a shot go just wide of the far post.
Real Salt Lake (1-2-0) had five academy players play in the loss, including Maikon Orellana. Sporting Kansas City (1-1-0) had trialist Seth Sinovic start and go the distance.
NYARKO-BAROUCH COMBINATION TOPS RAPIDS
The Chicago Fire remained undefeated as it scored two second-half goals to defeat the Colorado Rapids, 2-1, on Sunday.
Chicago's reserves improved to 2-0-0, as Patrick Nyarko and Orr Barouch each scored and assisted on goals. Nyarko netted the equalizer off a feed from Barouch in the 66th minute, and then returned the favor by assisting on Barouch's game-winner two minutes later.
Colorado, which is now 0-3-0 in the reserve league, opened the scoring through a 51st-minute goal from Steven Emory. The goal was the first for both Emory and Colorado in Reserve League play.
