Magee, a nine-year veteran making his 185th MLS appearance,
took over in goal after backup keeper Josh Saunders was sent off and starter
Donovan Ricketts was injured.
Magee played the final 47 minutes in goal to help the
MLS-leading Galaxy extend their unbeaten streak to 10 matches.
Ricketts, who had been out for three matches while playing
for Jamaica in the Gold Cup, left the game with a forearm injury in the 24th
minute after colliding with Khari Stephenson.
Saunders was sent off in the 43rd minute for elbowing Steven
Lenhart in the face after the San Jose forward headed the ball out of Saunders'
arms. Lenhart received a yellow card.
At Chester, Pennsylvania, Danny
Mwanga scored in the 82nd minute to lift Philadelphia.

half to help the Union end a four-game winless streak and take sole possession
of first place in the MLS Eastern Conference.
Michael Umana and Justin Braun scored for Chivas.
At Sandy, Utah, Alvaro
Saborio found his offensive form after struggling in the Gold Cup with Costa
Rica, scoring twice in Real Salt Lake's victory over Toronto FC.
Nat Borchers also scored to help Salt Lake end a four-game
winless streak.
Saborio got his first two MLS regular-season goals just a
week after his missed penalties against Honduras led to Costa Rica's
elimination from the Gold Cup.
In Kansas City, Kansas,
Omar Bravo scored his first goal since mid-March to help Sporting Kansas City
run its unbeaten streak to seven games.

The Mexican forward hadn't scored since getting two goals in
Sporting's season opener.
Julio Cesar hooked the ball past keeper Joe Cannon at the
edge of the box in the 40th to give the hosts all three points and deny the
Whitecaps their first win in eight games outside Canada.
In Frisco, Texas, Zach Loyd and
George John scored five minutes apart in the first half to help FC Dallas rout
Portland.
Brek Shea and Jackson Goncalves also scored for Dallas,
which has won eight of its last 12 games to move into sole possession of second
place in the Western Conference.
The Timbers, playing in their first MLS season, are 0-4-1 in
their last five games and 0-5-2 on the road.
At Washington, Brian Ching's header
in the 89th minute helped Houston salvage a draw with D.C. United.
Chris Pontius opened the scoring for United in the 31st
minute, but Brad Davis got the equalizer on a penalty 10 minutes later.

the season in the 73rd before Ching's shot beat Bill Hamid in the closing
minutes.
