Hernandez, better known as 'Chicharito', got the goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute of the friendly match played at Los Angeles' Memorial Coliseum.

"I think Javier is one of the best finishers in the world," Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said after the game, a warm-up for next month's Confederations Cup in Russia.
