The report says Müller hit 10 targets from 11 attempts in a format that gives players 30 seconds per round. The challenge includes fixed targets worth two, five and 10 points, while a moving target worth 20 points appears during the final 20 seconds.
That structure rewards more than power. Players must identify the highest-value opportunities quickly, maintain technique under a strict clock and avoid wasting attempts. Müller’s reported score, including the maximum-value target, points to the finishing control that has defined his career.
Müller’s mark did not remain the outright benchmark for long. Evander, who reportedly held the previous record with 72 points, then matched the new total.
That duel gives the competition a stronger competitive edge than a simple exhibition. It also highlights the growing appeal of the All-Star Skills Challenge, where established stars and attacking players are measured in a different setting from regular league matches.
For Müller, the moment carries particular weight because he is reportedly in his second season with Vancouver after a long Bayern Munich career. The report says he contributed 14 goals and seven assists in 32 games during his first Whitecaps campaign, helping the club reach the MLS Cup final.
The shooting challenge offered a showcase, but Vancouver’s league form remains the central storyline. The Whitecaps are reportedly coming off a 0-0 draw with Minnesota United, leaving the LAFC meeting as the next opportunity to turn Müller’s attacking influence into a decisive result.
The August 2 fixture will show whether the German’s sharpness in a skills contest carries into a competitive match, where defensive pressure, tactical demands and the full 90 minutes provide a far tougher test.
