Friday has just one game of the nine this weekend, and it's in...
Los Angeles, as the Galaxy host the Colorado Rapids. Brian Rowe and Joe Nasco get the starts in goal. Nasco didn't last long, as he received a straight red card for a professional foul in the very first minute of the game. In corresponding moves, Dillon Serna was subbed out for goalie Clint Irwin, and Colorado had to play almost the entire game at ten men. Also resulting from the play was a penalty kick by Landon Donovan, putting Los Angeles on the board first. The Galaxy added on in the thirtieth minute with a Baggio Husidic goal, passed from Alan Gordon and Marcelo Sarvas. After the goal, Husidic got a garbage yellow card for excessive celebration. The celebration here was in honor of teammate A.J. DeLaGarza's recently deceased newborn child, Luca. There should have been a yellow card on the referee for insensitivity in this case. In the second minute of first half stoppage time, Gyasi Zardes extended the Los Angeles lead with a goal, set up by Donovan and Husidic. The Galaxy padded the lead as Donovan deposited another penalty kick goal in the forty-seventh minute. Los Angeles' Stefan Ishizaki took a yellow card for a fiftieth minute foul. The Rapids also had a yellow card, given to Marc Burch in the fifty-seventh minute for a foul, followed by a yellow card for Thomas Piermayr in the seventieth minute, also for a foul. The Galaxy kept going in the seventy-fifth minute with another Zardes goal, fueled by Ishizaki. Colorado was booked again with an eighty-fourth minute foul by Marlon Hairston that brought out another yellow card. Los Angeles iced it at 6-0 with Husidic's second of the game, via Donovan and Sarvas. The man of the match was Husidic for his brace and heartfelt tribute to Luca DeLaGarza.
