The MLS All-Stars went down to Chuba Akpom's 87th-minute goal, after Didier Drogba canceled out Joel Campbell's opener.

Substitute Chuba Akpom netted a late match-winner as Arsenal saw off the MLS All-Stars 2-1 in San Jose on Thursday.

Akpom came off the bench past the hour mark and he proved to be the difference, scoring from close range with three minutes remaining after big-money recruit Granit Xhaka made his debut for the Premier League giants at Avaya Stadium.

The score was level at halftime following Didier Drogba's equalizer for Kaka and Co.
