Herrera scores equalizer in Porto win over Benfica

The El Tri midfielder captained the Dragoes and scored a goal in a victory against its rival. Two other Mexicans also played roles in the win.

Mexican midfielder Hector Herrera scored an equalizer for Porto and Vincent Aboubakar added the winner as their side topped Benfica 2-1 Friday.

The Baja California native also wore the captain's armband throughout the victory. While Herrera had played important roles in past seasons for Porto, his role had diminished at the start of the year. He was an unused substitute in the first meeting between the two rivals, but has worked his way back into the starting XI.
