MLS club Kansas City Wizards have defeated English Premier League giants Manchester United 2-1 in a friendly at Arrowhead Stadium.

It was United's first-ever loss to a MLS club which came about from goals to Davy Arnaud and Kei Kamara whilst Dimitar Berbatov scored from the penalty spot for the losers.

Wizards head coach Peter Vermes was beaming after the match and said it was a great result for the club.

"It was definitely a big game for our organization. Having the opportunity to play Manchester United, arguably the best club team in the world, was a huge accomplishment for the Kansas City area," he said. "It was tremendous to have 50,000 fans show their support at this game. I am extremely proud of the team for how they played during the game. To have the courage and competitive drive to stay ahead for 55 minutes while a man down was big."

Goalscorer Kei Kamara was over the moon after netting against one of the world's biggest clubs and added that it was great for the Wizards fans to see a spectacle such as this.

"Scoring a goal against them was big, but scoring a goal in front of that many Kansas City Wizards fans was bigger. The goal being a game winning goal was huge for me," he said.

"Hopefully people will give us even more credit, and continue to come out and support us even more. We have a new stadium opening next summer and we still have four months left this season, so hopefully they will come out and see what we can do."
