"The Vancouver Whitecaps forward started against the Philadelphia Union, playing in his preferred position behind the striker, and donning the captain's armband as well. Vancouver got off to a great start, going 2-0 up soon. Afterwards, they earned a penalty, which Müller converted. In first half stoppage time, they earned another penalty, which Müller slotted into the same corner as before. The Whitecaps thus went into halftime with a 4-0 lead, just like Bayern against Hamburg."
"But the Whitecaps were much more ruthless than Bayern, and they found themselves 6-0 up going into the final minutes of the game. Two minutes from time, some nifty combination play ultimately found Müller right in front of goal, and the Raumdeuter headed home from point blank range. Müller scored his fourth MLS goal this season, and his first ever non-penalty goal in Canada."
"Vancouver won 7-0 and booked their ticket to the MLS Cup Playoffs this season, and Müller, in typical Müller fashion, filmed a celebratory clip with his signed match ball. In the video, he also paid tribute to his old Bayern teammates, especially Harry Kane. "Harry, now I know how you feel with a hat trick ball," said the world champion with a grin."
Bayern Munich's men's and women's teams both recorded clean-sheet victories over Hamburger SV and RB Leipzig, respectively. Thomas Müller, celebrating his 36th birthday, started for Vancouver Whitecaps against Philadelphia Union as captain and in his favored position behind the striker. Vancouver raced to a 2-0 lead, earned two penalties converted by Müller, and led 4-0 at half. The Whitecaps extended the advantage to 6-0 before Müller scored a close-range header for his fourth MLS goal and first non-penalty goal in Canada. Vancouver won 7-0 to clinch an MLS playoff berth. Müller filmed a celebratory clip, paid tribute to former Bayern teammates, and now has seven career hat tricks.
