Thomas Müller of Vancouver scored 79 points Tuesday during the MLS All-Star Skills Shooting Challenge to set a new all-time record [1].

The performance highlights the increasing level of technical precision in the league's showcase events. As a primary attraction of the All-Star weekend, the shooting challenge serves as a benchmark for accuracy and efficiency among the league's top talent.

Müller's total of 79 points [1] surpassed the previous all-time record of 72 points, which had been established in 2025 [1]. His performance briefly stood as the highest point total ever recorded in the event's history.

However, the record did not remain exclusive to Müller. Evander also scored 79 points [1], matching the Vancouver player's total and resulting in a tie for first place. The two players shared the top spot after both exceeded the historical benchmark by seven points.

The challenge is designed to showcase shooting accuracy through a series of targeted goals. By reaching the 79-point mark, both Müller and Evander demonstrated a level of precision that had not been seen in previous iterations of the competition.

This result reflects the competitive nature of the All-Star weekend, where players often push existing boundaries to establish individual legacies. The shared record marks the first time in the event's history that two players have reached this specific point total in a single session.

The tie for the all-time record suggests a rising ceiling for skill-based challenges within MLS. When multiple players reach a previously untouchable mark in the same event, it indicates that the league's top shooters are evolving their technique or that the competition's format is favoring higher-scoring outcomes.
