Vine: A bamboozling piece of skill from Mexico’s win over Panama

Mexico beat Panama 1-0 last night with an 89th minute winner, but this moment of magic from Hector Herrera was probably the highlight of the game.

Mexico beat Panama 1-0 last night with an 89th minute winner, but this moment of magic from Hector Herrera was probably the highlight of the game.

The Porto midfielder picks the ball up on the left wing and with a bit of footballing wizardry, he dances by the defender. Although appearing to almost stumble, he gets away from the defender and it warrants several rounds of applause for sheer cheek and ingenuity.

He’s no stranger to sinew-twisting, ligament-stretching turns though as he proved back in September against Chile. This lad has got the skills and might be one to keep an eye on in the coming months.
