Raúl Jiménez Closes in on Chicharito's Mexico Goal Record as El Tri Smash Ecuador to Reach Round of 16
Raúl Jiménez has ended his World Cup goal drought, scoring in Mexico's 2-0 win over South Africa. This goal drew him level with Jared Borgetti's 46 goals for Mexico, with only Chicharito having scored more. Jiménez added his second goal of the tournament in a 2-0 win over Ecuador, securing Mexico's first knockout-stage victory at a World Cup since 1986.
The 35-year-old striker now ranks second among Mexico's top goalscorers. Mexico will face the winner of the England vs DR Congo match on July 5, likely pitting Jiménez against his adopted country. With 68 goals and 24 assists in 233 Premier League games, Jiménez poses a significant threat. However, Mexico's attacking prowess extends beyond him, with Julián Quiñones emerging as a key goalscorer, having netted three goals in four games. Young talent Gilberto Mora is also one to watch, having become the sixth youngest player in World Cup history.
