MLS All-Star Game: Juve Wins PK Shootout With MLSers

At Atlanta:

In Wednesday's Major League Soccer All-Star Game, Andrea Favilli's goal in the 21st minute put Italy's Juventus to a 1-0 lead, only to see Atlanta United's Josef Martinez put the MLS All-Stars on equal terms at 1-1, which was the score at the end of regulation as 72,317 fans----an MLS All-Star Game standalone record---looked on.  

With overtime dispensed with, Nicolo Fagioli, Stefano Beltrame, Grigoris Kastanos, Leandro Fernandes, and Mattia De Sciglio all converted their spot kicks as the seven-time defending Italian Series A champions won the penalty-kick shootout 5-4.
