Raul Jimenez Achieves Historic Milestone for Mexico in World Cup Round of 32

Raul Jimenez has etched his name further into Mexican football history with a crucial goal during the World Cup Round of 32 match held in Mexico City. Playing in the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the veteran striker netted his team's second goal in the 32nd minute.

With this strike, Jimenez reached 47 goals in his international career with Mexico, surpassing Jared Borghetti's previous tally and claiming the second position on the nation's all-time scoring list. The 35-year-old midfielder, who began representing Mexico's national team in 2013, now trails only retired legend Javier Hernandez, who holds the top spot with 52 international goals.

Jimenez's latest achievement comes as part of a strong personal tournament performance. This marks his second goal in the ongoing 2026 World Cup, following his contribution to Mexico's 2-0 victory over South Africa in the competition's opening match.
