It was a big night for Raul Jimenez in Europe, with the Mexican international striking the opening goal for Benfica in their Champions League quarterfinal defeat to Bayern Munich.
The Mexican forward was extremely active in the first half and capitalized on a brilliant Eliseu cross for Benfica's opener in the 27th minute. With the goal, Jimenez became only the second Mexican to score in the quarterfinal stage of the Champion League following in the footsteps of Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez.
Not content with the lead, Raul came close to adding a second when he gathered inside the box before forcing Manuel Neuer to a good save.
