Fans have wanted to see this matchup for some time and it's finally happening: All-Stars from MLS and Liga MX will go head-to-head for the first time in a game that will be fueled by the heated rivalry that exists between both leagues and nations. Pride and bragging rights are the only stakes in this contest, more than enough to give this exhibition some real juice.
Although the MLS team is missing a handful of big names due to injuries (Carlos Vela and Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez among others) and a transfer (Canadian star Tajon Buchanan to Belgium's Club Brugge), the collection of available players should provide enough firepower to give the talented Liga MX side a run for its money.
The Liga MX side arguably enter as the favorite with several Mexican and South American national team players. The most high-profile players include Guillermo "Memo" Ochoa, Luis Romo and forward Rogelio Funes Mori, who all play for the senior Mexican national team. The squad also features some of the deadliest strikers from Liga MX, including Jonathan "Cabecita" Rodriguez, Alexis Canelo and Nicolas Ibanez.

MLS vs. Liga MX live score
| 1H | 2H | Final | |
| MLS | 0 | 1 | - |
| Liga MX | 1 | 0 | - |
Goals:
LMX - Jonathan 'Cabecita' Rodriguez (Jorge Sanchez) - 21st min.
MLS - Jesus Murillo (Eduard Atuesta) - 53rd min.
(All times Eastern)
53rd min.: Goal MLS! After a great combination by Cowell and Salloi leads to an MLS corner kick, LAFC center back Jesus Murillo heads home the Atuesta corner kick in front of his home crowd. We're tied up at 1-1.
50th min.: Ricardo Pepi, who's on the field as an 18-year-old to start the half for the MLS All-Stars, is about to have himself a memorable day tomorrow:
46th min.: Second half is underway. Tons of changes on both sides.
Halftime: MLS All-Stars 0, Liga MX All-Stars 1
Halftime: It was a first half of spurts and Liga MX was the most dangerous when they got their looks. The MLSers were dependent on Lucas Zelarayan to start and then Gustavo Bou, but those two didn't get much help. It'll have to be Nani, Ricardo Pepi or Daniel Salloi to help the MLS team get an equalizer in the second half.
45th min.: Moments after Gorriaran barely misses the target, it's Bou again on the other end creating havoc but his ball into the box goes across the face of the goal. No teammates in proximity.
41st min.: And on the other end of the field Andre Blake makes a great stop, diving to take the ball off the feet of Santi Gimenez who was running in on goal. Great play by the veteran.
40th min.: And Bou again for MLS, but the ball gets away from him as he was bearing down on goal! He couldn't take advantage of a giveaway and Talavera scoops it up.
38th min.: Gustavo Bou with the cleanest shot of the first half for the MLS team so far. But it doesn't trouble Talavera.
30th min.: SUBS - MLS is beating Liga MX in the subs department. Five changes: Rodolfo Pizarro (for Zelarayan), Cade Cowell (Ruidiaz), Kai Wagner (Nouhou), Murillo (for Yeimar) and goalkeeper Andre Blake (Pedro Gallese)
28th min.: SUBS - First three subs from the Liga MX side: Alfredo Talavera in for Ochoa in goal, Orbelin Pineda in for Angel Mena and Santi Gimenez comes in for Ibanez at forward.
22nd min.: The goal came against the run of play. MLS was sending some warning shots, but never enough to threaten the Liga MX side.
21st min.: Goal for Liga MX! Cross comes in from the right and Cabecita Rodriguez takes it down wonderfully on his chest and fires home. Class goal.
11th min.: The homophobic chant is heard coming from the stands and the referee Armando Villarreal immediately holds up play. The players are at the center circle waiting for his cue to restart. The action resumes after about a minute.
Just heard the homophobic chant at an all star game. WtF. Seriously? Embarrassing. #MLSAllStar

8th min.: Seconds later Jorge Sanchez clears a sure MLS goal off the line! What an acrobatic play! MLS's Diego Rossi robbed!
7th min.: Fans want a penalty kick called for a foul in the MLS box on Liga MX's Valdes, but the ref rules that he committed a hand ball.
3rd min.: The Univision reporter says that each player on the Liga MX side will get 25 minutes in this game.
1st min.: We're off! Liga MX kicks off and the first foul after 45 seconds! Gustavo Bou committed the foul.
9:36 p.m.: Up-close look at the helicopter flyover:
9:32 p.m.: Teams are out and we're getting both national anthems.
9:20 p.m.: Scenes from the pregame ceremonies:
9:17 p.m.: An injury kept Carlos Vela out of the game, but he's at his home stadium and in an interview with TUDN, he confirms he's in the last year of his contract with LAFC:
9:09 p.m.: Wow. Liga MX starting with Cabecita Rodriguez, Mena and Ibanez up top and they have the likes of Funes Mori and Alexis Canelo coming off the bench. "We're going to win" is the translation of one of the lines in this tweet:
9:08 p.m.: Diego Rossi getting the start for the MLS All-Stars in place of Cade Cowell:
8:30 p.m.: A reminder that Seattle's Cristian Roldan will be captaining the MLS All-Stars against Liga MX. Cool night for him. He'll also get to share the field with his brother and fellow Sounder, Alex Roldan:
