LA Galaxy alien encounter starting lineups and match thread

Aliens and dinosaurs in one place? No it's not an episode of Doctor Who, it's Friday night at the StubHub! Center. A.J. DeLaGarza is on family leave, with Robbie Keane and Jaime Penedo on international duty. The Rapids are on a six match losing streak, going back to July 25th for their last victory.

This means a rare start for Brian Rowe, but the other replacements have gotten playing time recently. Alan Gordon starts next to Gyasi Zardes again, and Todd Dunivant starts at left back with Robbie Rogers not in the match day 18.

#LAGalaxy XI: Rowe; Gargan, Gonzalez, Leonardo, Dunivant; Husidic, Sarvas, Juninho, Donovan; Zardes, Gordon #LAvCOL pic.twitter.com/n9tAxtpIPY
