Raul Gudino, a 19-year-old Mexican goalkeeper, was handed his first start in the Portuguese Premeira Liga Friday in Medeira's 1-1 draw with Estoril.
Gudino comported himself well, from what we can tell from the numbers. There's always room for improvement, but this is a great start for a young player at a position where players don't traditionally peak until their late 20s/early 30s.

Gudino is on loan from FC Porto, where his countrymen Miguel Layun, Hector Herrera and Jesus "Tecatito" Corona play. He has now played more first-team minutes in the past year than Mexico number one Memo Ochoa of Malaga.
