Jenni Hermoso was given a hero’s welcome as she returned to action for her Mexican club, Pachuca, on Sunday – the first time she has played since being kissed on the lips by Luis Rubiales after the Women’s World Cup final.
On the same night that Rubiales resigned as president of the Spanish FA (RFEF), the Spain forward was given a guard of honour prior to a Liga MX Femenil fixture. Hermoso came on as a late substitute as her side beat Pumas UNAM 2-1.
