Alejandro Moreno's goal in Los Angeles' losing effort to Kansas City puts Moreno atop the MLS scoring race along with injured teammate Carlos Ruiz. Both have 6 goals and 2 assists. Moreno (434 minutes) has appeared in nine games and Ruiz has appeared in seven (567).

Jovan Kirovski, with 5 goals and 1 assist, gives Los Angeles three players among the top 5 in the scorers' race.

Los Angeles leads the league with an average of 2.09 goals per game while Colorado has been the league's least productive club (0.75).

Sixteen goals were scored in Week 10's five games for a 3.2 goals per game average, but the overall scoring rate after 48 games remains well below the 3.00 mark at 2.58 goals per game. At this pace the league would have its lowest scoring season in history and it would mark the fourth straight season in which the scoring rate dropped. Only twice before has MLS per-game scoring been below 3.00 at the end of the season:

1996: 3.37
1997: 3.26
1998: 3.57
1999: 2.86
2000: 3.19
2001: 3.28
2002: 3.01
2003: 2.89
