Football: Real Madrid stay undefeated

PHILADELPHIA: Jose Maria Callejon and Mesut Ozil each scored first-half goals as Real Madrid cruised to a 2-1 victory over Philadelphia Union. It was Real Madrid’s third win, with no losses, in the World Football Challenge, which features North American teams playing visiting European clubs. Real mid-fielder Kaka was all praise for the quality of football at Major League Soccer (MLS). “I think that clubs in the MLS are much better,” said Kaka. “I was impressed with the Union. They played very well. They gave us a tough match. They’re a very good team.”
