Why is it masculine?
Porteros is masculine because it derives from the Latin "portarius" (gate-keeper). The -arius suffix in Latin was inherently masculine, and this became the -ero suffix in Spanish. In modern Spanish, the -ero suffix is a productive masculine ending for agent nouns (those denoting people who perform an action or occupation), making "portero" (goalkeeper/gatekeeper) grammatically masculine.
