The midfielder delivered a strong all-around performance as El Tri opened the Confederations Cup with a 2-2 draw against Portugal
Jonathan dos Santos has long lingered on the fringes of the Mexico picture, but the time may have come for the Villarreal midfielder to officially lock down a starting spot.
Mexico twice came from behind to open its Confederations Cup campaign with a 2-2 draw against Portugal on Sunday, with goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez among the standouts.
But it was Dos Santos who led El Tri with industry on both sides of the ball before setting up Hector Moreno's last-gasp equalizer, capping an impressive all-around performance.
