One hundred minutes of play went by without a score in the U.S. Open Cup semifinal game Wednesday night before Galaxy midfielder Mike Magee broke the stalemate on a penalty kick for a 1-0 lead over FC Dallas, then the visitors responded with two goals in the last five minutes to win, 2-1.
The matchup against the top team in the Western Conference was the Galaxy’s second of three games in a seven-day span at StubHub Center. The busy schedule led Coach Bruce Arena to begin the game with all but three of the players who started in a tie with the New York Red Bulls three days before on the bench.
