The reported scoring record explains Musa’s inclusion. His latest goal, in a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on May 16, is said to have taken his FC Dallas total to 46.
That figure would move Musa level with Kenny Cooper in third place on the club’s all-time scoring list. It gives the selection a clear statistical foundation: Musa is not simply representing Dallas, but producing at a rate that is reshaping the club’s record books.
Musa’s rise also reflects the scale of Dallas’s investment. The report says the Croatian forward became the club’s record signing before the 2024 season, a move that carried significant expectations.
His reported 2025 campaign strengthened that case, with 19 goals across all competitions matching Jason Kreis’s club record for goals in a single season. The latest All-Star selection therefore represents another milestone in a progression that has moved Musa from major signing to central figure.
This is reportedly Musa’s second appearance in the MLS All-Star Game. The event will offer another opportunity to measure his scoring form against leading players from North America’s two major leagues.
For now, the focus is on maintaining his push near the top of the Golden Boot race and carrying that momentum into Charlotte. The July 29 meeting with LIGA MX will be the next major test of Musa’s growing status.
