In a Major League Soccer (MLS) regular-season match, the Vancouver Whitecaps claimed a resounding 7-0 victory over Eastern Conference leaders Philadelphia Union. Thomas Müller, who joined the Whitecaps earlier this summer, scored twice from the penalty spot and added a late header to complete a hat-trick on the night of his 36th birthday (calculated according to U.S. time).
With this win over Philadelphia, the Vancouver Whitecaps have climbed to second place in the Western Conference standings.
