Moreno's header saves Mexico on a mixed day for Ronaldo, Chicharito

KAZAN, Russia -- Three thoughts on Portugal and Mexico's 2-2 draw in Group B of the Confederations Cup.

1. Mexico strike late to deny Portugal

A late Hector Moreno header salvaged a 2-2 tie for Mexico as El Tri twice came from behind to in each team's Group A opener.

Ricardo Quaresma had put Portugal head in the 34th minute, before Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez leveled three minutes before half-time and the sequence repeated itself in the second period, with Cedric Soares netting in the 86th only for Moreno to level one minute into injury time.
