Mexico and Brazil fought out a nil-all draw at the World Cup this morning. But the match was anything but dull, and Mexico can thank its goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa for a performance of a lifetime; here's some of the action:
Ochoa's keeping brought back memories of Mark Paston's efforts against Italy at the 2010 World Cup. The first save on the video was probably the best, and if there is a better save at this year's tournament, it'll be worth seeing.
FIFA's goal-line technology later showed that the header from Neymar had reached but not crossed the goal-line before a sprawling Ochoa got a hand on it and deflected it forward. It was a moment of absolute brilliance from the Mexican.
Let's not forget too that is was Mexico which stood in New Zealand's path to the 2014 World Cup. Wouldn't that have been a dream match for the All Whites; playing Brazil in the World Cup finals in Brazil?
Well played Guillermo Ochoa; what a stunning performance to keep Mexico is contention for the second round.
