Blanco has goal and assist, MLS stars top West Ham

TORONTO (AP) — Just making it to the Major League Soccer All-Star game was a ‘‘nightmare’’ for Dwayne DeRosario. Once he arrived, it turned into a night he’ll never forget.

The Houston midfielder scored a tiebreaking penalty, Chicago midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco had one goal and helped set up another, and the MLS All-Stars posted a 3-2 victory over English Premier League team West Ham United on Thursday night.

‘‘A game like this in my hometown, I can’t ask for anything more, especially to have an opportunity to have an impact in the game,’’ said DeRosario, who grew up in suburban Toronto. ‘‘For me, it’s a dream come true.’’

It’s the second time in three years that DeRosario has scored the winning goal in the MLS All-Star game; his second-half strike helped the MLS beat English club Chelsea 1-0 in 2006.

DeRosario and Houston teammate and fellow Canadian Pat Onstad didn’t arrive in Toronto until early Thursday morning.
