• For the sixth time in their eight games, Chivas USA posted a clean sheet. Two of those have come against the Galaxy, and Chivas have 11 shutouts on the season to lead the league.
• "They're a dangerous team. Their points don't show how capable they are of creating chances and scoring goals," Guzan said. "Being able to kind of contain that -- yeah, they get chances, but you know maybe getting an arm on them or making sure they're a little off balance. Those are little things that don't go on the stat sheet but make a big difference."
• Merlin put the final touches on the rout with his stoppage-time strike. Merlin, who came to Los Angeles to try out for the Galaxy in February, scored his first MLS goal.
• "My personal goal was to play as much as I could," Merlin said. "Chivas is a very good team with a great atmosphere and my goal is to get all the way to playoffs and we're proving right now that we're the best team in Major League Soccer."
