VIDEO: 'Chicharito' opens scoring for Mexico off Peralta's cheeky dummy

Mexican forward Javier Hernandez opened the scoring in the 10th minute to give El Tri a 1-0 lead over the United States in the CONCACAF Cup.

Hernandez finished off a smart sequence of passes that started when Oribe Peralta dummied a run, luring and then springing around the U.S. defenders, before feeding Hernandez across the box.

The play was crafted of individual genius and team cohesion, and also allows Hernandez, known affectionately as "Chicharito," to celebrate his first ever goal against the United States.
