Pachuca at the Galaxy
With David Beckham not dressed as expected, the champagne and caviar crowd are absent and the stands are sporting plenty of empty seats.
Chris Klein has returned to the starting line-up for the Galaxy and Cobi Jones is back on the bench for the Group B game, otherwise it's the same starting 11 that began the game against Chelsea.
Pachuca are without three Mexican National Team players, who will join the team Wednesday.
SuperLiga is under way, however, with FC Dallas and CD Guadalajara tying 1-1 in the opening Group B game
