Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who made six sensational saves during a clash against Brazil in 2014, repeated his heroics to save Poland star Robert Lewandowski's penalty kick during their Qatar World Cup 2022 clash on Tuesday.
Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa reminded football enthusiasts of his 2014 heroics against Brazil after saving Polish superstar Robert Lewandowski's kick from the penalty spot during Tuesday's Qatar World Cup 2022 clash.
Memo Ochoa did a great job studying Lewandowski’s penalties before the match: he knee Robert waits a micro second to see where the Goalkeeper will jump, so he fooled him by making him think he’s go to the left but ended up denying his penalty at the right

In the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Ochoa made six saves in the scoreless draw with Brazil and denied Neymar a header, which he called the "game of a lifetime."
Ochoa recalled the match ahead of Mexico's clash against Poland as he prepared to play in his fifth World Cup. "I feel really grateful to be recognized globally, that means you have done good work," he said.
