Guillermo Ochoa has put El Tri in a great position. With this result, both teams totaled four points, but the Brazilians are located in first place for their superior goal difference against Croatia, while the Mexicans are in second. It took four years for Ochoa to be the starting goalie for El Tri and he has shown well and truly that he is the best goalkeeper in Mexico. He was a total bastion for Mexico against Brazil and was the basis for both the draw and Mexico's continued World Cup dream.
Coach Miguel Herrera had said El Tri was going to play hard, and they did so within their means, seeking to have the ball as far away from their goal as possible. Guillermo Ochoa was an indisputable factor for them to go into the break with an even scoreline. Mexico understood that in addition to great football, they needed great heart, guts and the desire to transcend, and that was their main weapon, which helped them at times to balance this duel. But above all, it was Guillermo Ochoa who came out a champion.
