Barça draw last night against Chivas Guadelajara 1-1 in their second match of the Mexica & USA pre-season tour in Los Angeles. In form Icelandic striker Eidur Gudjohnsen, the new signing from Chelsea FC, put Barcelona ahaead in the 74th, but the Mexicans levelled through Diego Martínez just 5 minutes before the end of the match.
FC Barcelona dominated and controlled the entire match. Barca produced the clearer goal scoring opportunities but used only one of several just 15 minutes from time when Gudjohnsen was set clear by Ronaldinho in front of the goal but only hit the post. Gudjohnsen himself then converted the rebound. A defence error finally led to Chivas equaliser, when Martínez headed home, while he was on his own at the second post.

While the first half did not produce much exciting moments, the second half was much more entertaining.

The majority of the fans have been of hispanic origin and the spectators again enjoyed the individual techique and technical skills of Ronaldinho.
