In their first match since passing on the opportunity to sign Benny Feilhaber, Chivas USA is featuring a lineup that really looks like it could use a few extra pieces. Justin Braun has been relegated to the bench in favor of Marcos Mondaini, and the midfield consists of Ben Zemanski, Simon Elliott, Nick LaBrocca and Jorge Flores. Dan Kennedy also appears to have cemented his place as the starting goalkeeper as he gets his fourth straight start.
