Mexico continued their strong start to the fifth round of World Cup qualifying as Javier Hernandez helped them past Costa Rica.

Javier Hernandez equalled the record for most goals for Mexico as his nation claimed a 2-0 win over Costa Rica in World Cup qualifying on Friday.

The Bayer Leverkusen forward struck in the first half at the Estadio Azteca to join Jared Borgetti on 46 international goals.

His effort was set up by a nice pass from Carlos Vela, whose corner was headed in by Nestor Araujo to double Mexico's lead late in the first half.
