Mexican Ochoa became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty at the 2022 World Cup
Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty kick at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Mexico-Poland Group C game takes place at the 974 Stadium in Doha. In the 58th minute, Poland striker Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty after watching VAR for a foul by Mexican defender Hector Moreno. Ochoa guessed the direction of the blow, jumping into the corner to his left.
Moreover, according to FIFA, Ochoa became the first goalkeeper from Mexico in 92 years to save a penalty at the World Cup (not counting the penalty shootout). Previously, the Mexicans managed not to miss from the penalty spot at the 1930 World Cup thanks to Oscar Bonfillo.
The score in the game is 0:0. Watch the live broadcast on the Match TV channel and the matchtv.ru website.
