The Los Angeles Galaxy have made the first sub of the match, taking Mike Magee off and bringing Chris Birchall on in his place. The move gives the Galaxy an added defensive presence because of Birchall's ability to tackle. This isn't a surprise considering LA leads 1-0 and has began playing more defensive. They have begun to give Chivas more space in the midfield by dropping very deep, which is a style much more suited to Birchall than it is the offensive-minded Magee.

It won’t be long before Chivas makes a substitution either. They need a goal and have nearly their entire bench up and getting warm. Head coach Robin Fraser has begun to give instructions onto his assistants, who have relayed them to the players so it looks like Chivas will make their move very soon too, although there isn’t a ton of obvious offensive talent for Fraser to turn to on the bench.
