Mexicans Abroad: Herrera scores ahead of Champions League match, Araujo heads in goal in defeat

The biggest stage of the month is yet to come for Hector Herrera, but the dress rehearsal went well.

The Mexico midfielder regularly wears the captain's armband for Porto, which is preparing for Tuesday's Champions League showdown with Roma. That doesn't mean that the league leaders can forget about the domestic campaign, though. Herrera came up big in Friday's trip to take on Moreirense, scoring in stoppage time to help the team avoid defeat and stay atop the table.

Jesus "Tecatito" Corona also played 90 minutes for Sergio Conceicao's side and will hope to have an encore in the Stadio Olimpico this week.
