Aviles Hurtado channelled his inner Hugo Sanchez on Saturday, scoring what might be the best goal anywhere in 2017.
In the first half of Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente's 3-3 draw at Atlas in Liga MX, Hurtado produced a phenomenal overhead kick and somehow sent the ball beyond the reach of Miguel Angel Fraga, who could only watch as it hit the back of the net.
Hurtado scored again only 24 minutes later, raising his tally for the Liga MX season to six goals and reaffirming his position as one of Mexican football's most ruthless attackers.
