Arsenal and Everton supporters travel from near and far as nearly 40,000 attend match in Baltimore

For a day, the Camden Yards complex in Baltimore was a soccer spectacular, and the purple seats of M&T Bank Stadium were replaced with a red and blue swirl of football fandom. Arsenal and Everton, the two clubs with the longest tenure in top-flight English soccer leagues, faced each other Saturday night in a friendly dubbed the Charm City Match, with Arsenal topping their Premier League rivals 2-0. The game mattered little — it was a preseason exhibition, after all — but for local soccer fans, hosting two storied sides was more than welcomed.
