CARSON, Calif. – Mike Magee is back to his old tricks again: scoring goals and wowing the StubHub Center faithful.
In a remarkable 45-minute performance, Magee did it all as he scored two goals, notched an assist, and won a penalty as the LA Galaxy came from behind to beat D.C. United 4-1 in their 2016 season opener. Replacing the injured Giovani dos Santos at halftime, Magee’s inclusion ignited a Galaxy attack that had gone without a goal in three matches.
The chants of “Magee is on fire” from an adoring crowd may be nothing new for the 31-year-old forward, but he admitted postgame that he still had to get used to the thrill of scoring again after tallying his first goal since July 2014.
