Too bad Henry wont be there.

It must be a big deal for those Mexican fans to be able to watch the CPL Cup champions in person. Dreams do come true

Very sloppy goal to concede, I was just hoping this wouldn't get too ugly, that's not a good sign!

Chivas leading 1-0 at the half

[Cicero]

Chivas certainly isn't pushing, but aside from the mistake, it doesn't feel like they could just start playing and run it up at will.

Also, I guess the rain kept about 20,000 of those expected fans at home.

A lot of the fans are in the upper tier seeking shelter from the constant downpour, not sure what full capacity is but this venue will host some WC matches! I would like to see Forge keep this close and continue to attack when they get a chance!

[Bison44]

Too bad, he made a good stop on the initial shot.

Get in young man!

Nice Goal !!!

Forge can take some positives out of these matches for sure, they tested players in bigger roles and really weren't embarrassed in the tie, the late goal just makes the loss that much better!

[CanadaFan123]

I mean what can you say about that? Forge and Bobby prove their quality again and again. They play good football and look just as good as any MLS side has away in Mexico.

What's up with only 2 min stoppage at the end?  Yeah, I get it, the tie is over but there was a player who needed to be taken off via golf cart in the 2H, and that took at least 5 min.
