Three Mexican internationals started for FC Porto for the first time in the club’s history today.
Jesus Corona, Miguel Layun, and Hector Herrera were all a part of Julen Loptegeui’s team sheet as he selected the side that would face off against Moreirense.
Corona was almost the hero on the day. He scored a go-ahead goal in the 79’ minute that would have been the winner if not for a late Moreirense equalizer.
#PrimeiraLiga: ¡Goooooool! Al 78', 'Tecatito' @Chuycorona25 anota y pone al @FCPorto nuevamente en ventaja. http://t.co/MxizoI0iGF

Game winner or no game winner, the day on whole should be one of pride for Mexican fans. FC Porto has seemingly taken up the mantle as the go-to place for Mexican internationals with European ambitions. By fielding three of them today, the club shows that their acquisition is not just some marketing ploy, but a mark of competitive intent.
