Liga MX Rolls Over MLS in All-Star Game: A Preview of the Upcoming Leagues Cup
In a dominant display, Liga MX All-Stars cruised to a 4-1 victory over the MLS All-Stars in their annual showdown at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio. The win marked a significant turnaround for Liga MX, which had previously lost to MLS in the past two editions of the game.
The Mexican team didn’t waste any time getting on the board, with Germán Berterame scoring a stunning header in the 16th minute. However, MLS responded quickly with a goal from Cucho Hernández, leveling the match at 1-1.
But that was all the MLS squad could muster, as Liga MX took control of the game. Oussama Idrissi scored just before halftime to give his team a 2-1 lead, and the floodgates opened in the second half. Juan Burnetta and Maximiliano Meza scored back-to-back goals to put Liga MX up 4-1, and the team cruised to the win.
The result was a significant blow to MLS, which has now been outscored 9-1 in the past two All-Star Games. The loss will serve as a wake-up call for the league, which is gearing up for the upcoming Leagues Cup.
The Leagues Cup, which pits MLS clubs against Liga MX teams, is set to kick off on Friday and will run through August 6. The final match is scheduled for August 25. The competition promises to be intense, with Inter Miami, boosted by the arrival of Lionel Messi, looking to defend its title.
For Liga MX, the win was a much-needed confidence booster ahead of the Leagues Cup. The team’s dominance in the All-Star Game showed that it is capable of competing at the highest level, and it will be looking to carry that momentum into the tournament.
