Chivas USA' Marcos Mondaini gave his team a 1-0 home win June 4 with a 70th-minute goal in the only previous meeting between the teams. Chivas USA' Laurent Courtois also scored his first MLS goal Saturday. The midfielder was acquired earlier this month after playing for the French club Grenoble from 2008-11. After recording just three goals in 22 matches for the Galaxy this season - his first after netting 61 in four years at New York - Angel scored Saturday in his Chivas debut, a 2-all draw at Colorado. Chivas USA completes its five-game road stretch Wednesday night when Portland tries to post back-to-back wins for the first time since early May.
Portland Timbers' Perlaze scored his sixth goal Saturday - one behind team leader Jack Jewsbury - and assisted on Chara’s first MLS goal, which came in the second minute for the fastest in team history. Portland Timbers which is three points out of the final playoff spot, will try to win consecutive games for the first time since April 30 and May 6. Continued goal scoring from Jorge Perlaze and midfielder Diego Chara could help the Timbers accomplish that as they also try to match a season high by earning points in four straight at home.
