"It’s the best goal I’ve scored in my entire life. We all dream of playing in a World Cup - and to start in such a positive and important way - I think it’s my best goal so far," Lozano said, as quoted by the FIFA website.

Mexico will take on South Korea on Saturday in their next match. 

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on Thursday and will continue until 15 July, with the matches set to be played in 11 cities across Russia.
