Impact Hector was everywhere he possibly could be in the win Saturday. The midfielder typically sits as a more defensive mid, but he did quite the opposite. Hector was essentially an extra attacker through the majority of the match doing everything he could to generate the goals needed to secure the win. Furthermore, not only did he generate multiple chances, but he also took his fair share of chances as well. It was by far one of his best performances and it was an important performance at that.
