Mexico legend Jared Borgetti scored 46 goals for El Tri in 89 appearances, and sat pretty atop the country's scoring ranks for nearly a decade.
But Borgetti now has some company in the form of Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who notched his 46th goal for Mexico on Friday night in a World Cup qualifying match against Costa Rica - in his 89th match for El Tri, too.
The Bayer Leverkusen striker deftly opened the scoring with a cheeky chip at the end of a run at goal just eight minutes into the match, and is one goal away from becoming Mexico's most prolific scorer.
