Both players who earned their first El Tri caps said representing their country was a dream come true
Midfielder Jorge "Burrito" Hernandez and goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota debuted for the Mexico national team Thursday and both impressed in their opening game.
Hernandez set up Jesus "Tecatito" Corona's stunning opener and also started the play that led to a penalty for Mexico's second. Coach Juan Carlos Osorio said Hernandez was hampered by an injury for the final portion of the contest and the team doesn't know his status going forward, but the Pachuca midfielder was in good spirits after the contest.
