Whose Porto Goal Was Better: Tecatito Corona's Or Hector Herrera's?

Hector Herrera and Jesus "Tecatito" Corona both had objectively good games for Porto Sunday, each scoring a golazo for the Portuguese club in a 5-0 win over Boavista n the Premeira Liga.

Some might say that both players' accomplishments should be celebrated, and then be left at that. We think otherwise. Everything is a competition, so we needed to figure out which goal was better.

First, let's look at Hector Herrera's goal. Finishes don't come much more intricate and precise than this.

It's a great goal, to be sure. The first touch was superb and the finish was composed.

Normally, that sort of goal would be the best goal of any game, but, unfortunately for Herrera, his teammate Tecatito did him one better.

That goal reminds us of a certain five-time Ballon d'Or winner, which is about the highest compliment we can think of, not that Tecatito is anywhere near Lionel Messi's level.

He is pretty dang good though.
