Raul Jimenez looks like he's finally realizing the potential everyone knew he had. The Mexico and Benfica striker has entered the 2016-2017 season guns blazing, with two goals in two Premeira Liga appearances. That's good enough to make Jimenez Benfica's leading scorer (although the season is young).
Jimenez's latest came in stoppage time against CD Nacional de Madeira Saturday.

The 25-year-old could hardly hope for a better start, and will look to continue his good form for El Tri against El Salvador and Honduras during the international break.
