Celta target Hirving Lozano puts in La Liga-quality performance to top FC Dallas

The Mexico winger scored twice to help Pachuca into the CONCACAF Champions League final, displaying his European credentials.

PACHUCA, Mexico — As Pachuca and FC Dallas battled for continental supremacy, Hirving Lozano showed he reigns supreme in the region.

Two goals from "El Chucky" lifted Tuzos to a 3-1 victory Tuesday, and the reported Celta de Vigo target looks every bit a player who is ready for La Liga. That's no secret. Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio has been banging the drum for months, and he's hardly the first. Lozano has been sensational since the moment he took a starting place as a teenager in 2014.
