Real Madrid defeated the MLS All-Stars on Wednesday evening 1-1 (4-2 penalties) at the 2017 MLS All-Star Game at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Borja Mayoral opened the scoring in the 59th minute when he snuck in behind MLS’ defense and curled a shot to the far post. Orlando City forward Dom Dwyer equalized in the 87th minute when he cleaned up a header from the Chicago Fire’s Dax McCarty that hit the post.
Participating in his first All-Star Game, Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei entered in the second half, turned away two Real Madrid shots and manned the goal during the penalty kick shootout.
Dwyer and LA Galaxy forward Giovani dos Santos missed the opening two MLS penalty kicks of the shootout, while Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo all converted for Madrid.
