Mexico's Julián Quiñones is off to a great start at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scoring three goals in four games. His most recent goal was against Ecuador in the last 32. Here, we will introduce Mexico's top five World Cup scorers of all time.
5. Rafael Marquez: 3 goals (2006, 2010, 2014)
Rafael Marquez, considered Mexico's best defender of all time, demonstrated his ability to score from set pieces. In 2006, he scored the opening goal against Argentina in the round of 16, and in 2010 he scored the equalizer against South Africa. In the 2014 group stage, he scored a crucial goal to help Mexico grab a much-needed victory.
4. Cuauhtemoc Blanco: 3 goals (1998, 2002, 2010)
A symbol of Mexican football's longevity, Cuauhtemoc Blanco scored in three competitions from 1998 to 2010. In 2010, he scored a famous penalty against France, helping Mexico win 2-0.
3. Julián Quiñones: 3 goals (2026)
Julián Quiñones, who switched from Colombia to Mexico, is already making history in his first World Cup. He was the top scorer in the Saudi Professional League and carried that momentum into the World Cup.
2. Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez: 4 goals (2010, 2014, 2018)
One of Mexico's all-time leading scorers, Chicharito is one of the few players to have scored in three different competitions. In 2014, against Croatia, he scored the insurance goal that decided to advance to the group stage.
1. Luis “El Matador” Hernández: 4 goals (1998)
Luis Hernández, who is tied with Chicharito on Mexico's scoring list, scored four goals in the 1998 tournament. I especially remember the two goals we scored against South Korea, the equalizing goal in the 95th minute against the Netherlands, and the opening goal against Germany.
