It was a strong response from MLS, who were beaten 4-1 in last year&rsquo;s meeting. <\/p><p>Inter Miami&rsquo;s Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba were both absent from the match. As a result, the duo could face potential league suspensions for the next match against Cincinnati on Saturday. Former Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez (Liga MX) also skipped the event.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLS All-Stars Dominate Liga MX<\/h2><p>The win gave MLS their third victory in four editions of the showcase matchup since the format was introduced in 2021. Goals from Sam Surridge, Tai Baribo, and Brian White sealed the win, with MLS dominating large stretches of the match despite a brief comeback push from the Mexican side.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DQ0I9E5b77\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/DQ0I9E5b77<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Major League Soccer (@MLS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLS\/status\/1948226378957979672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 24, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>After a tight openning spell, the breakthrough came in the 28th minute of the match when Nashville SC&rsquo;s Sam Surridge headed home from close range after a quick recovery and cross from Denis Bouanga (LAFC). The move followed a brilliant save from Luis Malagon on Bouanga&rsquo;s earlier attempt. Surridge, who is the joint MLS goalscorer (18) with Lionel Messi, gave MLS a desrved 1-0 advantage heading into halftime.<\/p><p>MLS wasted no time after the break. In the 51st minute, Columbus Crew&rsquo;s Diego Rossi slipped a through ball into the path of Tai Baribo (Philadelphia Union), who finished calmly with his right foot to make it 2-0. Liga MX responded in the 64th minute through 16-year-old Gilberto Mora (Club Tijuana), who capitalized on a loose ball in the box to reduce the deficit to 2-1. Notably, Mora became the youngest player ever to feature in an MLS All-Star Game and made his presence felt.<\/p><p>Just as Liga MX began to build momentum, MLS regained control of the match. In the 80th minute, Brian White (Vancouver Whitecaps) tapped in from close range after a deflection off a defender, capping off the scoring at 3-1. Yohei Takaoka (Vancouver) made a crucial save in the 75th minute to deny Diber Cambindo (Necaxa) and preserve the MLS lead.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2025 MLS All-Stars vs. LIGA MX All-Stars | Full Match Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IGnGE2MWP_8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>This was the fourth meeting between MLS and Liga MX All-Stars since the format began in 2021.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2021<\/strong>: MLS won on penalties after a 1-1 draw.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2022<\/strong>: MLS secured a win.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2023<\/strong>: Liga MX won 4-1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2025<\/strong>: MLS wins 3-1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The win gave MLS their third victory in four editions of the showcase matchup since the format was introduced in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":76094,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4039,4038],"tags":[8754,760,8753],"class_list":["post-76093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mls-soccer","category-soccer","tag-liga-mx","tag-mls","tag-mls-all-stars"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
