VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Thomas Müller scored on a penalty kick late in the second half as the Vancouver Whitecaps battled back for a 1-1 draw with Los Angeles FC on Saturday night.
The Whitecaps (10-3-4) and LAFC (10-5-4) remain tied in the Western Conference with 34 points apiece.
The Whitecaps controlled most of the opening half, but Son Heung-min's goal gave LAFC the lead at halftime.
Müller's goal came in the 76th minute after he was hauled down in the box by defender Yevhen Cheberko. Müller calmly struck the ball into an open side of the net.
Heung-min spun and sent a shot into the short side of the net past the outstretched fingers of goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka to open the scoring. Heung-min celebrated with a large Korean contingent in the crowd.
