The Mexico striker took advantage of a start against lower-league opposition and scored for his third game in a row.
Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez continued his good form Wednesday, as he netted a pair of goals in Bayer Leverkusen's 6-0 DFB-Pokal win over Viktoria Koln.
Leverkusen dismantled the overmatched fourth-division side at Sportpark Hohenberg to advance to the German cup round of 16, and the Mexican international played a big role with goals on either side of halftime.
Hernandez got behind the defense to score in the 38th minute, before finishing off a cross in the 54th minute to give his side a four-goal advantage.
