Wins for Chicharito, Mehmedi and Aránguiz

After Chicharito provided the first highlight with his record goal for Mexico – with 47 to his credit he has overtaken Jared Borgetti – it was the turn of Admir Mehmedi with Switzerland and Charles Aránguiz to be on the winning side. Mehmedi played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 victory against Belarus. Xherdan Shaqiri scored the goal for Switzerland. Charles Aránguiz, playing for 'La Roja', featured in the convincing 3-0 win against Burkina Faso in a friendly. Aránguiz played for 45 minutes, the former Leverkusen midfielder Arturo Vidal netted twice with the third goal scored by Angelo Sagal.
