2014 Chivas USA season


The 2014 Chivas USA season was Chivas USA's tenth and final season in Major League Soccer, the top division for soccer in America.
Finishing seventh in the Western Conference, it was the club's first season since 2009 that they did not finish in last place in the Western Conference. However, the club failed to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs for a fifth-consecutive year. Outside of MLS play, Chivas reached the fourth round proper of the U.S. Open Cup, where they fell in penalties to the Carolina RailHawks of the second-division NASL. In the SuperClasico, Chivas finished as runners-up to inner-city rivals, LA Galaxy. The club's best performance in external competitions came in the preseason Desert Diamond Cup, where Chivas finished in second place.
Despite the poor production on the field, the bright spot on the club was young Mexican international Cubo Torres, who led the club in goals scored during the regular season, with fifteen. He finished seventh in the league in total MLS regular season goals for 2014.
