CARSON, Calif. -- With a league MVP award in his trophy case, Mike Magee is not your ordinary halftime substitute.
After entering at halftime, Magee had two goals and an assist and the LA Galaxy beat DC United 4-1 in the season-opener for both clubs Sunday night.
"This is the reason we wanted to bring Mike back here," Galaxy coach Bruce Arenas said. "He's a great player who can score goals. We've been very careful with him in preseason, and will continue to be in the beginning of the season, being careful with his minutes and make sure he's completely healthy and ready to have a great year.
