🎥 Jiménez closes in on Mexico legend with opener against Honduras | OneFootball

North American powerhouse Mexico has been made to labor against Honduras in their Concacaf Gold Cup semi-final clash tonight in California until finally breaking the deadlock just after the restart.

And it would be none other than Raúl Jiménez to give El Tri a justified lead on the night after first missing a guilt-edged sitter before the half-time interval.

The 34-year-old Fulham ace would make amends in the 50th minute after he was slid into the box by 16-year-old teenage prodigy Gilberto Mora before he rifled his low effort past Edrick Menjivar to bag his 42nd goal for El Tri.

With his latest goal, which ended a result goal drought by the veteran striker, he now sits just four behind former Mexico stalwart Jared Borgetti (46) on the all-time goals list.

Given that Jiménez seemingly still has plenty left in the tank, there is still time for him to further cement his legacy in Mexican football lore.
