Clearly, it is stainless.
At 38 years old, André-Pierre Gignac continues to gratify Mexican fans with his spectacular goals.
The former Olympique de Marseille striker produced a splendid achievement on the night from Wednesday to Thursday, against the Vancouver Whitecaps (1-1).
From a free kick, the scorer placed a superb shot into the Canadian top corner, on the closed side, and equalized at the very end of the match (88th).
¡GOLAZO!
Andre Pierre Gignac!

This match counted for the first round of the CONCACAF Champions League.
A competition won by the Tigres in 2020, during which André-Pierre Gignac scored in the final.
The Frenchman therefore avoids defeat for the Mexicans for their entry into competition in this 2024 edition. The Tigers are currently fourth in their national championship after five days.

The former Toulouse or Lorient striker also multiplies individual awards.
The native of Martigues won the title of top scorer in the championship twice, in 2019 and 2016. He was even voted best player in the championship, also in 2016.
A year during which he played in the Euro with the France team... and hit the post in the final against Portugal.
