The Bayer Leverkusen forward tied Jared Borgetti's all-time scoring mark with a goal in World Cup qualification.
MEXICO CITY — Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez tied Mexico's all-time record for goals scored Friday against Costa Rica.
The tally came in the seventh minute of the teams' World Cup qualifier. It took Chicharito's Mexico tally to 46, level with Jared Borgetti for most goals for El Tri.
In one of Mexico's first attacks, Carlos Vela turned and slipped a pass through to Chicharito coming from the left side, and the striker was able to beat Keylor Navas to the ball and open the scoring.
