Honda SuperClasico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honda SuperClasico is a football derby between Major League Soccer teams Los Angeles Galaxy and C.D. Chivas USA and is considered as the only "true" local derby in the MLS, both being based in the city of Los Angeles, California.
For this particular derby, the name "Superclásico" comes from the Mexican superclásico between América and Chivas, though it is most likely originally taken from the famous Boca Juniors vs. River Plate derby in Buenos Aires (the "superclasico"). The derby is sponsored by auto company Honda, and the teams play four league games a year (in addition to any US Open Cup or playoff matches). All games are played at The Home Depot Center.
