Mexico

Zinha scores a well-placed header against Iran in the 2006 World Cup group stage, capping off a strong performance with Mexico’s third goal in a 3-1 win. Arriving late in the box, he meets a perfectly floated cross and directs a controlled header past the goalkeeper. His timing, movement, and technique make the goal a fine example of attacking intelligence. This strike seals the victory and marks Zinha as the first foreign-born player to score for Mexico in a World Cup.
