On the international stage, Borgetti first played with Mexico on 5 February 1997 against Ecuador. He would not make his mark internationally, however, until the qualification campaign for the 2002 FIFA World Cup began in late 2000. After the qualification campaign proved successful for Mexico, Borgetti became a regular starter within the squad and went on to score goals for his country at the Copa América 2001, the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and the Copa América 2004. Borgetti`s most successful tournament was the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup. He scored three goals against Brazil and Germany and helped Mexico to a fourth place finish, and his skill of scoring from headers drew the attention of football pundits worldwide. He also provided a memorable moment of the tournament when he had to retake a penalty twice against Brazil due to various infractions. It was blocked on the third attempt, but he later scored the winning goal that resulted in a 1-0 upset. After these performances, Borgetti attracted attention from many foreign clubs, and chose a deal with Bolton Wanderers. Borgetti has enjoyed notable success on both the club and international level. After the qualification campaign for the 2006 World Cup ended, Borgetti became his country`s top goal scorer, surpassing both Luis Hernández and Carlos Hermosillo with a record 43 goals in the 87 international appearances. In 25 March 2007, Borgetti came off the bench, replacing Omar Bravo in a match against Paraguay. Within 20 seconds, Borgetti scored a goal, making the game 1-0.
