MANCHESTER UNITED Top Mexican team falls to MLS Stars

Chivas failed to avenge Mexico's losses to the United States.
CARSON, Calif. (AP) -- The hometown heroes made the biggest plays in the eighth Major League Soccer All-Star game.
But most of the fans went home disappointed.
Carlos Ruiz of the Los Angeles Galaxy scored the tie-breaking goal in the 68th minute, and teammate Kevin Hartman made nine saves including several spectacular ones Saturday as the MLS All-Stars beat Chivas de Guadalajara 3-1.
Chivas, which has never had a non-Mexican player on its roster, became the first foreign team to play in the MLS All-Star game and dominated a scoreless first half.
It was a different story after that.
Mexican fans
As expected, the vast majority of the announced crowd of 27,000 was pro-Chivas. Thousands of fans wore the Mexican team's red and white striped jerseys and showered the field with confetti when the lineups were introduced.
Chivas is a 10-time champion of Mexico's First Division and has a strong following on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Chivas owner Jorge Vergara said the game was an opportunity to avenge the Mexican national team's recent losses to the United States, including a 2-0 setback in the World Cup last year.
It was an opportunity lost.
The MLS took a 1-0 lead in the 57th minute when Ante Razov of the Chicago Fire left-footed the ball into an open net after taking a pass from Landon Donovan of the San Jose Earthquakes. That completed a 2-on-1 break against Chivas goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez.
Mauricio Cienfuegos of the Galaxy was also credited with an assist.
Chivas tied it nine minutes later when Jair Garcia took a long pass from Manuel Sol, maneuvered around Hartman and scored into the open net.
The tie lasted barely a minute as Ruiz took a long pass from Carlos Bocanegra of the Fire and headed it into the left corner of the goal.
Hartman made a diving save of a shot by Miguel Sabah in the 73rd minute to preserve the lead.
Hartman made another save in the 77th minute on Rafael Medina's shot, and deflected Johnny Garcia's shot over the crossbar in the 81st minute.
DaMarcus Beasley of the Fire scored an unassisted goal for the MLS in the 83rd minute.
Longevity
The first goal was scored about a minute after Preki checked out of the game. The 40-year-old Kansas City Wizards midfielder is the only player to compete in each MLS All-Star game.
Chivas led 8-2 in shots and 5-0 in shots on goal in the first half. Chivas finished with 14 shots to 12 for the MLS and led 10-4 in shots on goal.
Putting Chivas in the game was a continuation of the league's desire to face the best of the rest of the world. That plan began last season when the All-Star game matched the U.S. national team, minus its European-based players, against an MLS All-Star team.
