After sporting the same Bayern Munich jersey for two seasons, James Rodríguez played against Thomas Müller on Sunday for the first time in their careers. Yet the recently-signed Minnesota United midfielder will likely want to forget the reunion, his MLS debut, after a 6–0 loss to Müller’s Vancouver Whitecaps.
The game marked the first time two former World Cup Golden Boot winners played in the same MLS match, James winning the accolade in 2014 and Müller in 2010; however, neither soccer legend was featured prominently. Both started on the bench, and the Whitecaps led 4–0 by halftime.
