Hector Herrera leads charge as FC Porto beat Benfica 2-1 in O Clássico

Led by Hector Herrera, FC Porto came from a goal down to beat Benfica 2-1 in the 234th edition of Portugual's O Clássico.

With Herrera, Jesus "Tecaatito" Corona, and Miguel Layun all starting for Porto, it was Benfica who took the lead on 18 minutes when Konstantinos Mitroglou combined with youngster Renato Sanches at the edge of the box. The Greek international gathered and swept past Iker Casillas for the 1-0.

But Benfica's joy didn't last very long, and ten minutes later, FC Porto equalized through a stunning goal from Hector Herrera. Miguel Layun, who now leads the continent with 16 assists in all competitions, found Hector Herrera with space outside the box, and "HH" immediately found the bottom corner to equalize.
