Thomas Müller delivered a stunning performance at the MLS All-Star Shooting Challenge, setting a new all-time record during All-Star week in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The German forward got off to a shaky start, missing several shots during his initial flurry before finding his rhythm and locking in completely.
Once Müller hit his stride, he was virtually unstoppable, picking off target after target with remarkable precision and consistency throughout his run.
He finished with a score of 79 points, a mark that surpassed the previous record and immediately rewrote the history books for the annual event.
In a remarkable twist, Brazilian midfielder Evander of FC Cincinnati stepped up shortly after and matched Müller’s record-breaking total, tying the new benchmark.
What made the moment even more striking was that Evander had also held the previous record of 72 points, a score he set during last year’s All-Star week.
After watching Müller claim his record, Evander clearly had no intention of allowing the veteran German star to have the moment entirely to himself.
The entertaining back-and-forth between the two players captured exactly what MLS All-Star week is designed to deliver for fans and the broader football community.
Occasions like these serve as a genuine reminder to supporters of just how much elite quality now exists within Major League Soccer on a day-to-day basis.
With All-Star week far from finished, attention now turns to the main event at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, where MLS takes on Liga MX.
The showpiece match will feature some of the biggest names in both leagues, with Müller and Son Heung-min among those expected to light up the occasion.
It promises to be a fitting finale to a week that has already produced memorable moments, records, and a glimpse of the growing star power within American football.
