MLS can no longer claim to be undefeated against European clubs at the All Star Game. I’ll say one thing about MLS at least their all star game is interesting unlike NBA, NHL and NFL as you know the MLS players are geared up to play in this game and while it may not be a Champions League final the Manchester United players didn’t treat it as just a friendly.

Manchester United set the tone from the start on an awful back pass gifted Federico Macheda a goal within 23 seconds of the game. From there Manchester United showed lovely bits of skills with Darren Gibson free kick goal, Tom Cleverley beautiful individual effort and to the delight the 70,000 at Houston’s Reliant Stadium new signing Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez scored on a lovely chip to cap the night for Manchester United.

While the game wasn’t close, it was entertaining and local Houston Dynamo had something to cheer for with Brian Ching and former Houston Dynamo Dewayne Rosario scoring for MLS.
