=== Magee's late goal allows Galaxy to top Seattle ===
 
 Carson,  CA (Sports Network) - Mike Magee came off the bench to score the lone
 goal  in the Los Angeles Galaxy's 1-0 win over Seattle Sounders FC at The Home
 Depot Center on Sunday.
 
 There  were  plenty of  chances for  both sides  but it  wasn't until the 83rd
 minute  that Magee broke the deadlock with a curling effort from 20 yards that
 snaps  a three-game  winless  streak for  the  Galaxy, who  will  open up  the
 playoffs in the first round at home against Vancouver on Thursday.
 
 The result leaves Seattle in third place and means that the Sounders will host
 the  first leg of their Western Conference semifinal against second-place Real
 Salt Lake.
 
 Seattle  had the best  chance to open the scoring in the first half when Fredy
 Montero  sent a  header  off the  post with  goalkeeper  Josh Saunders  easily
 beaten.
 
 Galaxy  forward Robbie  Keane was a constant  threat in the second half and he
 slid a shot just wide of the post shortly after the restart.
 
 The Irishman was at it again a few minutes later with a delicate chip from the
 edge  of  the area that hit  the crossbar, but he  had a hand in the lone goal
 seven minutes from time.
 
 Keane  dropped the ball off to Magee 20 yards from goal and he curled a lovely
 left-footed  shot  inside the post  to give the Galaxy  a good result ahead of
 postseason play.
