After a successful start to the Tata Martino era, Mexican players were back with their clubs this weekend with some players standing out as they eased back into the grind and others left to cope with a difficult return.
Things went well for Guillermo Ochoa. The goalkeeper's Standard Liege side started the championship phase of the Belgian league this weekend and despite conceding early, Ochoa kept the rest of Antwerp's efforts out. Standard's attack did the rest, scoring three unanswered to start off the mini-tournament with a big victory.
After missing out on El Tri's recent contests with an ankle injury that became the source of plenty of controversy, Jesus "Tecatito" Corona was fit enough to be in the starting lineup for Porto and played all 90 minutes of a 3-2 victory over Braga.
