‘Champions’ no more: Chivas, Revs exit CONCACAF CL
By ASN Staff • Sep 3rd, 2008 • Category: Features
Chivas USA and the New England Revolution were unceremoniously dumped from the CONCACAF Champions League after home-and-away series with Panama City’s Tauro FC and Trinidad and Tobago’s Joe Public, respectively. At least Chivas made things interesting, repeatedly threatening their opponents goal before drawing 1-1 in the return leg. The Revs, who sat eight starters, did not, losing 4-0 at home and 6-1 in aggregate.
Both clubs can claim “tournament fatigue” as a culprit, as SuperLiga and U.S. Open Cup matches added to an already packed schedule of MLS games and exhibitions.
