Vancouver Whitecaps proved it was more than just a good performance. The 4–1 win over the San Jose Earthquakes at BC Place confirmed the team as one of the most consistent in MLS this season and set a new club record for victories. With 17 wins and a 10-game unbeaten run, the group looks balanced and confident. On the field, Thomas Müller stands out once again, playing a decisive part in the result and showing impressive consistency over the last few matches.
Control, efficiency and maturity
The Whitecaps took control right from the start. They created chances, pressed high, and forced San Jose’s goalkeeper Daniel to stay alert. Müller and Berhalter both tried from outside the box, Ahmed looked sharp, and Elloumi opened the scoring in the 39th minute after a free kick from Berhalter. The team went into halftime ahead and came back with the same approach.
At the 57th minute, Müller scored the second after a move that began with Takaoka and went through Berhalter and Ahmed. It was a team goal that showed how well-connected they’ve become. A few minutes later, Berhalter fired from distance to make it 3–0, confirming a strong performance. San Jose managed to get one back through Beau Leroux, but the Whitecaps answered in stoppage time with another goal from Berhalter, finishing it 4–1.
Thomas Müller and the weight of experience
Müller was once again a key figure. He scored the second goal and stayed deeply involved in most attacking moves. That goal brought him to six this season and extended his streak to four straight games with an assist. Over the last five matches, he’s been directly involved in ten goals.
His presence adds a sense of stability. He moves well, connects passes smoothly, and joins the attacking buildups with awareness. His efficiency has been vital to the team’s current form, keeping the Whitecaps balanced and competitive across all competitions.
The Whitecaps also matched their best home record in the MLS era, with ten wins at BC Place. The atmosphere there reflects this strong run, with fans responding to the team’s form and growing momentum. The win over San Jose showed how much the team has matured. The Whitecaps now manage the pace of games better and stay composed throughout. With players like Berhalter, Elloumi and Ahmed performing well, the team continues to grow together and play with a clear identity.
With record wins, an unbeaten streak and a squad that knows how to make the most of the moment, the Whitecaps are confirming a consistent season. Thomas Müller, with his goals and assists, remains an important part of that story. The team is playing with confidence built on solid results and a style of soccer that convinces through execution.
