Jiménez netted a 22nd‑minute header in Nashville after meeting a Rodrigo Huecas cross and outmuscling defender Kim Min‑jae. The goal moves him nearer to Jared Borgetti on Mexico’s scoring list, with reports listing 44 career goals while FIFA credits him with 43. Mexico drew with Japan in Oakland and with South Korea in Nashville during the September FIFA window. Jiménez told TUDN he was pleased to score and emphasized the value of facing World Cup‑qualified opponents. The Fulham striker is described as Javier Aguirre’s primary attacking reference and now returns to England before a Sept. 13 match at Leeds, with his involvement not yet confirmed.
