dailyloe.com – Armando González, known as Hormiga González, is pursuing a historic goal-scoring title in Liga MX. This opportunity arises during the final match of the Clausura 2026 season. González aims to replicate the success of Jared Borgetti, the only Mexican to achieve back-to-back titles in the league.
As of April 24, 2026, González trails Joao Pedro by one goal in the scoring race, with 12 goals compared to Pedro’s 13. Both players shared the scoring title last season alongside Paulinho, who is currently not in contention this year.
González’s performance in the last game against Xolos de Tijuana will be crucial. Meanwhile, Joao Pedro will face FC Juárez, making the competition for the title intense.
If González secures the scoring title, he will join Borgetti, who won the ‘Pichichi’ in the Invierno 2000 and Verano 2001 seasons. This would mark a significant achievement in Liga MX history, as only 12 Mexican players have won the scoring title since the 1996-97 season.
Over the course of 58 short tournaments in Mexican football, only one player has won the scoring title twice: Jared Borgetti. González’s potential victory would place him among the elite in Liga MX.
The scoring leaders for the Apertura 2025 included Paulinho, González, and Joao Pedro, each with 12 goals. As the season concludes, all eyes will be on González and Pedro as they vie for this prestigious title.
