#4 Chicharito did what he does best

Chicharito
Chicharito spurred Mexico on with a brilliant header.

An outcast at Manchester United, Javier Hernandez a.k.a Chicharito, moved to Bayer Leverkusen in search of greener pastures. The decision paid off heartily as the Mexican found his shooting boots again, scoring 26 times in 45 appearances. Now with Mexico for the Copa America duty, he’s back amongst the goals as the 28-year old struck a sublime header to set his side on the path to the quarter-finals.

In a rematch of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup final, Jesus Corona sent in a whipping cross which found Hernandez inside the box and the former Real Madrid man headed home into the bottom corner for his 45th international goal.

That takes him just one shy of Jared Borgetti’s all-time record of 46 for Mexico, and his current form suggests it won’t be long enough when he surpasses the mark.
