"This was much more than I expected. I'm so happy for this night. I hope in the next years I can enjoy (more) All-Star Games." The All-Star game has involved a selected team of the best MLS players facing an international side since 2005. The MLS team beat Bayern Munich a year ago. MLS goalkeeper Nick Rimando had a big impact on the game as he kept his side in the game with three crucial saves.

"It's good whenever you beat these big clubs," Rimando said. "It shows that our league is growing and we have the talent to win these big games."
