Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz scored in the final minutes of the clash.

Leandro was subbed briefly in the 56th minute after he was on the pitch as he suffered an injury, but he could get up and leave on his power.

Declan Rice, who joined the Gunners for 120 million dollars, debuted when he entered the 65^th minute.

Ex-Manchester United superstar Wayne Rooney coached the MLS All-Stars team.

That was the 1^st time the Major League Soccer stars played vs. a European side in a match since 2019, as in the previous 2 years, they faced all-stars from Mexico’s Liga MX.

🗣 “I thought the referee made the game a little bit about himself.”
