"Cue Thomas Müller.The former Bayern Munich forward collected at the edge of the box and, in his space-interpreting custom, scanned around for options while seemingly opening up space around himself, like an anti-gravity well. The Orlando defenders were wary of an immediate strike or a lay-off to teammates in good positions, and so it was that three bodies stationed somewhere in Müller's secondary orbit stood by casually and watched as the 36-year-old suddenly lined up his shot and rifled it, left-footed, into the bottom corner."
"That's now six goals and three assists in six matches (five starts) for the Whitecaps. Müller, formerly Bayern's talisman, is the VWFC magic-maker now. The win and the three points has Vancouver three points clear at the top of the MLS Western Conference standings, with the old legend at the center of it all - and writing himself legends anew."
A stoppage-time goal decided a tight match in Orlando after Vancouver had been denied an earlier goal by VAR standards. Thomas Müller collected the ball at the edge of the box, created space with his movement, and struck a clean left-footed shot into the bottom corner. The finish came while opposing defenders hesitated, unsure whether to close or mark his teammates. Müller now has six goals and three assists in six matches (five starts). The victory put Vancouver three points clear atop the MLS Western Conference, with Müller continuing to transform matches and influence results.
