Chivas USA Vs. LA Galaxy, SuperClasico: Chad Barrett Reverts Back To Norm

Chad Barrett may have tried to convince spectators that he really was a good striker with his goal in the first half, but he has reverted back to his normal self. It’s the Chad Barrett that has a reputation all around the league for a hard worker who is strong, who can run and who can also miss the net better than anyone else in the league. That is what he did in missing a wide open goal that could have put the Los Angeles Galaxy up on Chivas USA right at the beginning of the second half.

A ball to Juan Pablo Angel in the center of the pitch was perfectly gathered by the Colombian. He controlled it, turned and spotted Barrett making a run at midfield. Chivas, trying to play an offside trap, were caught. Angel played a perfectly weighted ball into the path of Barrett who was all alone. He dribbled his way towards goal, rounded the keeper and had an open goal to shoot at. Of course he put the ball in the side netting though, missing his chance and keeping Chivas in this match with LA’s lead still just 1-0.
