WATCH HIGHLIGHTS: MLS 2, Celtic 0
Juan Pablo Angel of the New York Red Bulls, who earned MVP honors, opened the scoring for the MLS All-Stars in the 36th minute. Dwayne De Rosario fed a through ball up the middle to Angel, who side-stepped Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc before slipping a left-footed shot into the back of the net.
Juan Carlos Toja doubled the lead for the MLS All-Stars seven minutes later when he poked home a deflection of a set piece from just outside the 18-yard-box. The ball fell to the feet of the Colombian, who, like Angel, was making his first MLS All-Star appearance in his first season in the league, before he sent a left-footed shot into the lower right-hand corner of the net.
Despite two disallowed goals, Celtic was never able to get on the scoresheet.
The win marks another All-Star game victory for the MLS, giving them a perfect 4-0 record against international competition.
