Raúl Jiménez equals record with El Tri before the World Cup
The Mexican forward equaled Jared Borgetti on El Tri's list of all-time scorers. Raúl Jiménez is close to Chicharito
Raúl Jiménez is called to be one of the great leaders of the Mexican team in the 2026 World Cup. For several years, Jiménez has been in charge of El Tri's goals. Before the start of the World Cup, the Fulham attacker is among the Aztec team's top scorers.
At 35 years old, Raúl Jiménez continues to score goals in European soccer and with the Mexican team. In El Tri's last game, Jiménez scored the partial 3-1 against the Serbian team. This goal is important for the history of Aztec football.
With his score against the Serbian team, Raúl Jiménez equaled second place in El Tri's all-time scoring table. Jiménez occupies second place along with Jared Borgetti with 26 scores with the El Tri shirt.
As a curious fact, Raúl Jiménez has not been able to score a goal in a World Cup. This is a contrary case to that of Jared Borgetti, a footballer who scored a couple of goals in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup (one against Ecuador and another against Italy).
The absolute record
The historical leadership in the Mexican team belongs to Javier Hernández. “Chicharito” scored 52 goals. This figure puts the former Real Madrid forward at the top in the history of Aztec football.
