*Staff Writer Phil Collin has the game preview.
*Here's the San Jose perspective from our sister paper the San Jose Mercury News.
*Earlier this year it was 0-0 in San Jose between the two sides with unlikely goalkeeper Mike
Magee getting the shutout.
Jon Busch was having quite a game. The San Jose keeper had made a few really good saves and
the 'Quakes were hanging on at home against Real Salt Lake. Despite being outplayed, it looked
like the home team could grab a point from the match to help their playoff run. Then in the 61st
minute Alvaro Saborio was played through with a great pass and made a move to avoid the San Jose
defenders.
Chivas USA (4-7-6), seventh place in the Western Conference with one win in their last five
games, plays the San Jose Earthquakes (5-5-6), who sit three points and one place above them in the
conference and have one loss in their last five games, clash at 7:30 tonight at Home Depot Center
(live Fox Sports West).

Real Salt Lake took yet another step in fortifying it's staunch defensive unit by signing
centerback Nat Borchers to a deal that will keep him at Rio Tinto through the 2014 season, the club
announced on Monday.
Anthony Ampaipitakwong, or Ampai for short, and
Stephen Lenhart are the newest members of the Earthquakes following today's
SuperDraft.
The Quakes decided to trade away their number 15 draft spot and allocation money to Columbus for
a player that would be revealed later.
