Hector Herrera ended up with his face covered in blood after a cut in Houston Dynamo.

Héctor Herrera gives his all in every play. The Mexican has shown this in all the clubs he has belonged to, as well as in his national team. It is no different at Houston Dynamo, his current team, although sometimes it causes him pain. We say this because of a particular action that happened last Saturday, in a match against Minnesota United.

At minute 40 of the first half, at PNC Stadium, the midfielder suffered a cut above his left eyebrow and immediately started bleeding. His face was stained due to the hemorrhage, and he needed medical attention. The healthcare professionals assisted him, bandaged him, and finally, he was able to continue playing.

The play that caused the blow was one in the opposing area. In his attempt to header, the former member of Atlético de Madrid, Porto, and Pachuca collided head to head with his American teammate Fabrice Picault, who suffered no harm.

Herrera, 32, was the captain and played the full 90 minutes in a new MLS match. Unfortunately for the Mexican, Houston Dynamo lost 2-1 at home. Franco Fragapane (45′+2) and Bongokuhle Hlongwane (72′) scored for Minnesota United, while Picault (85′) reduced the lead.

With the defeat, Houston's team remained in eleventh place, with 25 points in the Western Conference, 20 points behind leaders Los Angeles FC. Meanwhile, Minnesota United is third with 34 points and maintains a six-game unbeaten streak, with five victories.
