Since Thomas Müller arrived, the Caps are 9W-1L-5D with a +24 goal differential. Their only loss came when an early red reduced them to 10 men for 80 minutes.
Two best teams in the league are meeting in MLS Cup.

Since that 5-3 loss to Chicago that effectively ended the Supporters’ Shield race, Miami have played 8 games. They’ve won seven of them by multiple goals.
