  • Obafemi Martins scored a goal for a fifth consecutive match – matching the Sounders FC club record and two games away from the MLS all-time record – as Sounders FC remained undefeated over that stretch (3-0-2) following their 1-1 draw at Sporting Kansas City on Sunday afternoon.
  • The Galaxy scored their first goals in four games, Giovani dos Santos, Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard all hitting the back of the net in a 3-2 win against FC Dallas on Sunday evening at StubHub Center. The Galaxy went 290 minutes between goals, tied for the sixth-longest goalless drought in the club’s 20-year history.
  • The teams are meeting for the third time this season, and the Galaxy have won the first two. Alan Gordon scored the game’s lone goal midway through the first half to lead the Galaxy to victory April 12 at StubHub Center. Giovani dos Santos scored his first MLS goal and added an assist as the Galaxy rolled to a 3-1 win Aug. 9 at StubHub Center.
  • Sounders FC have not won at the Galaxy since 2009, now 11 trips in league and MLS Cup play without a win.
  • The teams have met three times in the last five seasons in the MLS Cup Playoffs, including in the Western Conference Championship a year ago, when the Galaxy won on away goals after a 1-0 win at StubHub Center and a 2-1 Sounders FC victory at CenturyLink Field.
