A win for nothing, the miracle didn't happen. Corona will miss the cup final. That's also the end of an era for Hererra, we'll see hoe he does at Atletico Madrid.

Game went into overtime. Porto ties it up at 2-2 in the 120th minute. On to the penalty phase. No Corona for this one, not on the bench, but Herrera is still in there.

It feels weird that Tecatito is the only Mexican at Porto now. Feels like the Layun/Herrera/Tecatito era was just yesterday. *tear*
Porto bought a lot of our players and probably the most promising one in Reyes was the biggest bust. Let’s see what they do with Govea as he is still with them and hopefully they buy another Mexican player.
To be honest, I always wondered why starting in 2014, Porto all of a sudden started signing a bunch Mexican prospects, Hererra, Corona, Layun, Reyes, Govea, Joao Malek. Those signings were particularly surprising because Porto and the Portuguese league traditionally has done most of its scouting for young talents in Brazil/South America, but never in Mexico. Sounds to me that those players were "placed" at Porto as part an untold deal.
