Müller, who had been observing the game from the bench, entered the action late in the match. The Whitecaps’ offensive firepower was on full display from the opening whistle. Sebastian Berhalter opened the scoring in the 8th minute with a penalty, setting the tone for a one-sided contest.

Brian White (13th minute), Mathias Laborda (22nd minute), and Emmanuel Sabbi (43rd minute) added to the tally before halftime. White continued his impressive performance with another penalty in the 54th minute, followed by Cheikh Sabaly (74th minute), extending the lead to an insurmountable margin.

The introduction of former Bundesliga player Sebastian Schonlau in the 65th minute provided further defensive stability for the Whitecaps. While Müller’s contribution was limited to the final stages, his presence underscores the depth of talent within the Whitecaps squad.

Vancouver is one of only two teams in MLS yet to drop points, alongside LAFC. This commanding win suggests a strong campaign ahead for the Whitecaps, built on a foundation of both individual brilliance and tactical cohesion. The team's depth will prove vital as they navigate the competitive MLS landscape.
