Havertz, Marquinhos and Holding were Arsenal's team of three, where they competed against the MLS trio of Thiago Almada, Hector Herrera and Hany Mukhtar.
Arsenal and the MLS All-Stars competed in the Skill Challenge on Wednesday - a day prior to their meeting on the football pitch.
Prior to the touch drill, Arsenal beat the MLS team in the shooting challenge - thanks to Jurrien Timber, Jakub Kiwior and Folarin Balogun.
And the north Londoners then went 2-0 up, with Havertz proving to be the star of the show.

The drill consisted of three people, two of which sprayed passes into the player in the middle, who had two touches to direct the ball into a zone.
Players got 90 seconds to score as many points as they could, with zones consisting of 20, ten, five, and two-point values.
The last five balls were fired in from behind the goal, with scores doubling if the player got the ball into one of the targets.
Marquinhos and Havertz were elected by Arsenal to take centre stage, with the Brazilian winger scoring a respectable 53 points.

Havertz then closed the show with a whopping 86 points, with Holding left in disbelief by his technique.
Even Havertz looked impressed by his score, as he walked off with a huge grin on his face.
Though he was left feeling rather embarrassed in the next event after he failed to score a single goal in the cross and volley drill.
Thankfully for Havertz, Arsenal ended up winning the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge, with Auston Trusty hitting the winning shot in the crossbar challenge.
