On 2 May 2015, Maganto made his debut for the first team, starting on the left side of midfield, against Colorado Rapids. Maganto ended his debut early when he was substituted off in the 72nd minute for goal scorer Alan Gordon as the Galaxy completed the game with a 1–1 draw.[7] On 28 May, Magnato played the full 90 minutes for the first time in the home match against Real Salt Lake that ended in a 1–0 win for the Galaxy.[8] Maganto scored a one-touch goal, his first for the Galaxy, in an away game against New England Revolution that ended in a 2–2 draw on 31 May.[9]
