#1 of 40
By: Chris |Something cool overheard during tonight’s Atlas-Cruz Azul match:
Pablo Ramirez and Jesus Bracamontes mentioned that somebody asked Jared Borgetti which of his 40 goals with the national team was his favorite, and the answer put a big smile on my face.

Within 10 seconds of entering the game, El Tri’s all-time leading scorer Jared Borgetti scored off a header to put México ahead in the 78th minute.
