Jimenez Becomes Mexico's Second-Top Scorer in World Cup Glory

Raul Jimenez had already made the Estadio Ciudad de Mexico his personal stage at this World Cup, and according to beIN Sports, he did it again against Ecuador. His strike, which effectively wrapped up Mexico's win, was also his 47th goal for the national team, lifting him to second in the all-time scoring charts for El Tri.

BeIN Sports reports that the goal sparked celebrations far beyond the stadium, with fans gathering at the Angel de la Independencia monument in Mexico City to mark the moment.

The veteran striker has long had a special connection with the historic venue, and this latest chapter only deepens that bond as Mexico look to push further into the knockout rounds.
