Philadelphia Union 1-2 Real Madrid: Mesut Ozil & Jose Callejon ensure Jose Mourinho's men end US tour in style
Spanish side maintain perfect record by making it three wins from three games as they conclude their American trip unbeaten after victories against Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas

Real Madrid ended their tour of the USA triumphant after a 2-1 win over Philadelphia Union, with new signing Jose Callejon and German star Mesut Ozil getting their names on the scoresheet.
It took Jose Mourinho's side just 10 minutes to put their opponents to the sword, with Callejon making no mistake after being picked out by Xabi Alonso. The 24-year-old Spanish striker controlled well before tucking the ball away with a right-foot finish.
Union tried to fight back but Madrid's incessant pressure took its toll as Karim Benzema picked out Ozil who doubled their lead with aplomb.
Mourinho's men continued to dominate the clash, with Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo coming on in the second-half, highlighting the strength in depth available to the Spanish capital club.
Union's Michael Farfan grabbed a late goal to allow the American side to cut the deficit and set up an interesting finish, but Mourinho's men held on to win the clash, and end with a 100 per cent record on tour, following previous triumphs over LA Galaxy and Chivas.
