From both sides of the Rio Bravo, these teams have had authentic strikers who have given a lot of intensity, passion, and goals to this long-standing rivalry. 

Long gone are the days when matches against the USMNT were a mere formality, because today and especially in 2021, the Stars and Stripes were better than El Tri.

For this reason, it is worth reviewing which players have been the top scorers in the history of this derby.

Who were the top scorers in the USMNT vs Mexican National Team derby?

Michael Bradley (USMNT)

With 5 goals scored against Mexico in this derby and 17 in his entire career with the Stars and Stripes, the North American player has sustained his scoring streak with his goals against Mexico. 

Bradley rose to international fame after scoring a brace in a USMNT win in Columbus during the 2010 World Cup qualifying for a 2-0 U.S. victory. 

Horacio Casarin (Mexican National Team)

The greatest figure of the first half of the 20th century in Mexican soccer scored 6 goals in this derby, bringing a lot of intensity to this match. 

Casarín went on to play for Barcelona in Spain and represented Mexico in the 1950 World Cup, in which Mexico's national soccer team did not have a good tournament as it was beaten and did not advance past the group stage. 

But Casarín's great goals against the United States national team will remain in everyone's memory, laying the foundations of this rivalry that will have one more edition tonight.

Manuel Alonso Pría (Mexican National Team)

One of the pioneers of Mexican soccer in Europe, especially in Spain. Long before Rafaél Márquez or Hugo Sánchez, Alonso Pría leaped European soccer. 

With 6 goals scored in the USMNT vs Mexican National Team duel, Alonso Pría came to play in Spain for Racing Santander. He made his debut on December 2, 1934, in a match against Real Sociedad. He was a starter and played all 90 minutes. 

But the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War ended his dream and he had to return to play in Mexico. 

Landon Donovan (USMNT)

Captain America doesn't have this nickname just because he was the captain of his national team, but because he always lit up this derby with his statements, and also with his goals. 

Donovan not only distinguished himself for being an excellent player who played for Bayer Leverkusen or Everton, but also played for the LA Galaxy, San Jose Earthquakes, and ended up with the San Diego Sockers. 

With 6 goals scored in the derby, this great player ranks second as one of the top scorers in the USA vs Mexico duel. 

Salvador "Chava" Reyes (Mexican National Team)

The leader of this top is also one of Mexico's most beloved soccer players, in addition to being a legend at Chivas. 

Reyes has scored seven times against the USMNT, making him the top scorer in this derby, and the USMNT now faces a challenge.That of having a scorer to equal or surpass this same number of goals in this match.

Will we see that player in tonight's match?
