Diego Rossi - Takes seven shots in El Clasico Rossi took seven shots (three on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 3-3 draw against the Galaxy.

Impact Rossi took exactly seven shots (three on target) and created a chance for the second game in a row on Saturday, but this time he couldn't break through into the net for a would-be difference-maker against his cross-town rivals.
