Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez's confidence appears to be translating from the club level to international play.
Hernandez, who has notched two goals in three La Liga appearances as a substitute since joining Real Madrid, took the pitch in Mexico's friendly versus Honduras on Thursday night, and it took him only 22 minutes to find the back of the net, as he finished off an excellent pass from Oribe Peralta.
Note the subsequent celebration.
Watch out, Cuauhtemoc Blanco. Chicharito is coming for all your records.
Number 37 for Chicharito in his 67th match for Mexico. Now one behind Cuauhtemoc Blanco in all-time list.
