CHICAGO _ Three minutes before the game ended in a Major League Soccer defeat, Orlando City's logo flashed across the video boards next to the name Dom Dwyer.
A week after joining the Lions via trade, Dwyer scored an equalizer in the 87th minute for the MLS All-Stars during their matchup against European powerhouse Real Madrid. Regulation time ended in a 1-1 draw, forcing a penalty shootout.
Then, Dwyer missed the first penalty kick.
The L.A. Galaxy's Giovani dos Santos missed the second and Real Madrid went on to win 4-2 in penalties. Marcelo converted the fourth and final penalty.
MLS wanted to put on a show, display its top talent to fans around the world against Europe's best team. In that sense, the 2017 All-Star game was a success.
Four days of events led up to the game, which was broadcast in more than 170 countries. The announced crowd of 61,428, which included a hefty amount of Real Madrid fans, cheered, applauded and shrieked in unison when Borja Mayoral, who was named MVP, scored in the 59th minute to give Real Madrid a 1-0 lead.
The match began with some rain and a load of fireworks that left a smoky haze on the field the first few minutes of the match.
Orlando City captain Kaka started on the left side of a three-player midfield that included Bastian Schweinsteiger and Michael Bradley on the right.
Graham Zusi started at right back in the 4-3-3 formation.
All-Star coach Veljko Paunovic was forced to make a substitution eight minutes into the game when left back Greg Garza came off with a shoulder injury. DaMarcus Beasley subbed on in his place.
David Villa had two close calls in the first half, but Real Madrid's chances far outnumbered the All-Stars. The UEFA Champions League winners took 19 shots compared to MLS' five.
MLS changed its entire lineup at the half, subbing on Dom Dwyer for Villa and Dax McCarty for Schweinsteiger. Atlanta's Miguel Almiron took Kaka's place.
Almost every player on the roster for Real Madrid also got on the pitch for some time. The Spanish powerhouse played without star Cristiano Ronaldo, but they had no trouble controlling the match and finishing their preseason with a win.
