Death, taxes, Mexico’s Memo Ochoa’s heroics at the World Cup.
Mexico goalkeeper Memo Ochoa proved once again that he can show up on the World stage.
Mexico needed Ochoa to make a save after a VAR check gave Poland a penalty. Robert Lewandowski stepped up to the spot but Ochoa chose the right side to maintain the 0-0 draw in the 58th minute.
The 37-year-old — who had a lukewarm European career and mainly stayed put for his Mexican club, America — is one of the four players in Qatar to play in a fifth World Cup. He is joined by his countryman Andres Guardado as well as Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
