MLS All-Stars 1, AS Roma 3 MLS All-Star Game Recap KANSAS CITY, Kan. – For all of the parties and hype building up to Kansas City's first MLS All-Star game, AS Roma took the match itself seriously. It showed. The largest crowd in Sporting Park history got treated to a clinic on creative, efficient, aggressive soccer on Wednesday night. It came at the expense of the MLS All-Stars, though, with the Serie A side cruising to a 3-1 victory in front of a standing room-only crowd of 21,175. Kevin Strootman scored his first goal since joining the Giallorossi, who became just the third foreign club to beat the All-Stars in 11 matches. Alessandro Florenzi and Júnior Tallo added second-half tallies for Roma. LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez pulled one back late, heading home a free kick by Vancouver's Camilo in second-half stoppage time. http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2013-07-31-MLS-v-ROM/recap
