Overview

  • Müller entered as a 61st-minute substitute and immediately influenced play, only to have his 20-metre strike ruled out for offside two minutes later.
  • Vancouver had taken the lead through a Brian White penalty in the sixth minute before Artur Bassi’s stoppage-time goal forced a 1-1 draw.
  • A crowd of 26,031 at BC Place witnessed ‘Müller Mania’, reflecting strong fan engagement and rapid merchandise demand following his signing.
  • Müller has settled into life in Vancouver alone until at least December, fully embracing media-day rituals and training sessions as he adapts to MLS and new playing surfaces.
  • Coach Jesper Sørensen confirmed Müller’s role in the matchday squad and is managing his minutes carefully after limited preseason preparation.
