    El Superman scored his fifth goal of the Liga MX Clasura 2023/24 Sunday evening, making his eighth appearance in the league for the Mexican sub. He won the ball in the box, bodied a defender and turned brilliantly before firing a low-driven effort into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead over Pumas at the time.

    Vazquez's form in Mexico is nothing short of impressive. He's been scoring unique goals that no other forward in the USMNT pool is doing, providing Gregg Berhalter with a striker that fits a mold different from every other player available.

    It remains to be seen if he will be called up for the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals this March, but if he does receive the nod, there's no doubt he will be a threat in the box.
