Real Madrid defeats Celtic 2-0 in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) — Real Madrid defeated Celtic 2-0 Saturday in the World Football Challenge.

Gonzalo Higuain split two Celtic defenders and set up Joe Maria Callejon who scored in the 22nd minute.

Karim Benzema added a goal in the 67th, steering a shot to the far left corner of the net that beat goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska before a crowd of 34,018 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Celtic's Dylan McGeough was knocked out and taken off the pitch on a stretcher after smashing his chin on the shoulder of Real Madrid's Nuri Sahin.

McGeough moved his arms across his chest while being carted off the field.
