The stand-in captain was the chief culprit as the World Cup champions tore apart the Mexican back line in the Confederations Cup semifinal
With captain Andres Guardado suspended and center back partner Diego Reyes sidelined, Mexico's Hector Moreno found himself with no shortage of responsibility in the Confederations Cup semifinals.
To be fair, that was a lot to ask of the 29-year-old — even this experimental German side offers attacking talent that would make most countries envious. As Moreno wore the captain's armband and served as El Tri's undisputed back line anchor, he wilted under the pressure.
