Italian Montreal Impact striker Marco Di Vaio made the cut, joining the ten other fan XI players and those voted for by other MLS players and those chosen by Peter Vermes and MLS Commissioner Don Garber.

Despite initially being selected, Robbie Keane and Tim Cahill, of LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls, were both removed from the squad due to injury, which led to their being replaced by Landon Donovan and Jack McInerney, playing for LA Galaxy and Philadelphia Union.

A.S. Roma won the game 3–1, with goals from Kevin Strootman, Alessandro Florenzi, and Junior Tallo.
