Dom Dwyer provided some late dramatics, but Real Madrid kept the cooler heads in penalty kicks to come out victorious in the 2017 MLS All-Star Game, presented by Target.
The defending La Liga and Champions League title-holders prevailed thanks to a 4-2 shootout win following a 1-1 draw in regulation. Los Blancos made all four of their penalty kicks, with Marcelo netting the decisive tally, while Dwyer saw his opening attempt saved and Giovani dos Santos smashed his kick off the crossbar.
Madrid came within minutes of winning in regulation thanks to All-Star MVP Borja Mayoral's 59th minute goal, but Dwyer found himself in the right place at the right time in the 87th minute to put in the rebound after Dax McCarty hit the post with a free header from a corner kick.
