Ashley Young scored twice in the first half, and Manchester United beat Real Madrid 3-1 on Saturday in front of the largest crowd to see a soccer game in the United States.

United remained unbeaten in this year’s International Champions Cup and advanced to the final against rival Liverpool. Javier Hernandez added a goal in the second half for United.

The crowd of 109,318 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor broke the previous U.S. mark of 101,799, set at the Rose Bowl for the 1984 Olympic final.

Gareth Bale scored for Real Madrid, who was winless in three matches.

Liverpool 2, AC Milan 0: Joe Allen struck early and Suso scored late as Liverpool beat AC Milan in Charlotte, North Carolina, to advance to the title game.

Inter Milan 2, AS Roma 0: Nemanja Vedic and Yuto Magatomo scored and Inter Milan topped AS Roma in Philadelphia. Inter struck just before halftime, when Vidic headed in Dodo’s free kick.

Olympiacos 2, Manchester City 2: Dimitrios Diamantakos scored twice in regulation and Roberto Jimenez Gago made two saves in a shootout to help Olympiacos beat Manchester City 5-4 on penalty kicks after a tie in Minneapolis. Stevan Jovetic and Aleksander Kolarov scored for City.
