Davies converts penalty, DC ties 1-1 with Galaxy
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Charlie Davies converted a disputed 90th-minute penalty kick and D.C. United tied the Los Angeles Galaxy 1-1 Saturday night.
The goal, Davies' fourth of the year and third on a penalty, came 78 minutes after Mike Magee put the Galaxy ahead on a header off David Beckham's corner kick.
Davies drew the penalty by falling to the ground inside the 18-yard box after pushing the ball past Omar Gonzalez.

The Galaxy are unbeaten (3-0-3) in their last six matches against United, but failed to score more than one goal for the fifth straight match this season.
United, which snapped a two-game losing skid, got its first point against the Galaxy since the 2009 season, when the teams drew both meetings.
