Chivas USA Head Coach Preki, on tonight’s match: “The game was over in the first fifteen minutes of the game. It all came from us. From the kick-off we had the possession. We turned the ball over in our half. Pablo (Mastroeni) was by himself… it was a good shot… that’s how it goes sometimes. Then we give another one in the first five minutes and that was it. Our destiny is in our hands, hopefully we’ll learn from this game. ”
