He played regularly in his first tournament with the team and scored two goals and the team went on to win the 2009 Clausura Championship.

After showing good form in Antofagasta in 2007 and with Cobreloa at the beginning of 2008, Magalhães was named to the Sub-23 national side coached by Eduardo Berizzo. The tournament which took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, saw he scored one goal against Togo.[6][7] The same year Magalhaes participated in the Milk Cup, in which Chile took a sub-19 team.
