Chivas manager Matias Almeyda labelled Aviles Hurtado as the best forward in Liga MX alongside Club Tigres' Andre-Pierre Gignac.
On Sunday, Hurtado showed how he earned that label.
In the 24th minute of Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente's Liga MX game at Pumas, Hurtado produced a beautiful finish after Alejandro "Pikolin" Palacios abandoned his penalty area and failed to win a tackle, netting from 40 yards to open the scoring.
The goal marked Hurtado's fourth of the Liga MX season.
