Mexicans in Europe: Chicharito goal, Tecatito assist add spice to weekend

Heading into Sunday afternoon, it looked like a rough weekend for Mexicans in Europe.

However, standout performances from Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Jesus 'Tecatito' Corona added some lipstick to the pig.

After resting during the Europa League match Thursday, Chicharito started against Getafe and scored a nice goal in the 69th minute to put Sevilla in front. It finished 2-0 with the club pushing into the fifth spot in La Liga ahead of a trip to Valencia.
