Jorge Sánchez celebrated his call-up to the Mexican national team by scoring a goal in Ajax's victory in the quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup against De Graafschap Doetinchem.

The Mexican returned to the starting lineup with the Amsterdam team in the cup match to get minutes ahead of the FIFA date this month, as requested by the new coach of the national team.

It was in the 12th minute of the game when the former América player gave his team the lead with a right-footed shot inside the opponent's penalty area, hitting the ball with great force and finding the back of the net for the momentary 1-0.

Thus, the World Cup player in Qatar 2022 scored his second goal defending the Ajax badge, which he joined last summer and where he has already had minutes in the Champions League.

Jorge is part of the 34 players that Cocca announced on Thursday for his first commitments as coach of the national team in the Concacaf Nations League, just like his teammate Edson Álvarez.

The "Machín" also recently scored for Ajax, as he was the architect of the goal that gave his team the three points in the last match of the Eredivisie.

With a convincing 3-0, Ajax advanced to the semifinals of the Dutch Cup on Thursday at the expense of De Graafschap Doetinchem. Yesterday, Feyenoord also reached this stage thanks to Santiago Giménez's goal.
