CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy extended their unbeaten streak to nine games, but made no move up or down in any of the league's three most prominent power rankings. 


The Galaxy earned a 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids on Saturday with Giovani dos Santos scoring the lone goal. Los Angeles remain in third in SI.com's list, fourth for MLSsoccer.com, and fifth in ESPN FC's rankings. 


The explanations can be found below:


SI.com: 3rd

"The Galaxy faced bitter disappointment midweek as FC Dallas scored two goals at the end of extra time in the U.S. Open Cup semifinal, and they couldn’t rebound with a win in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against the Rapids. This was a game the Galaxy could have won with better finishing, but the team is still riding a healthy unbeaten streak (nine games) in league play."


MLSsoccer.com: 4th

"Unbeaten in nine, which is the best streak of anybody in the league right now -- so things are mostly fine in LA. A worry, though: They have exactly one win against a playoff team in the last four months."


ESPN FC: 5th

"LA managed fairly well without him against the Rapids, but Robbie Keane's injury status is a major concern after he sat out with a facial fracture."
