    I recorded Contacto Deportivo, the half hour Telefutura sports highlight show, last night and didn't get around to watching it til today.

    Lo and behold a certain Franco Niell scored for Queretaro in their Mexican league loss at Morelia. Here's the lineups and summary from MedioTiempo (Niell subbed on at halftime):

    I remember a few years back Niell scored the gamewinner* against Pachuca when we beat them at RFK in the ConcaChampions competition. Maybe that got him noticed by some Mexican scout.

    * take the "gamewinner" with a grain of salt as we lost the series on aggregate.
