Mexico Vs Japan Summary: Score, Goals, Highlights - Olympic Soccer Bronze Medal
An old dream kicked the bucket for Guillermo Ochoa in the semi-finals of the Men's Olympic Football Tournament on Tuesday. What's more, to make his misery significantly more intense, it kicked the bucket because of Brazil, a group the goalkeeper has so frequently obstructed with splendid exhibitions.
Mexico lost 4-1 on punishments after a 0-0 draw at Tokyo 2020, however it was a totally different story at the Copa America in 2007, when Ochoa made his name in a 2-0 loss of Brazil, or when his recoveries baffled the hosts in a goalless impasse at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. Mexico gave the Olympic heroes a harsh test in Kashima, and indeed it was the man wearing the gloves who denied A Seleçao over and over, not least by keeping out Daniel Alves' booming free-kick on 23 minutes.
The America attendant was beaten only once during 120 minutes, when Richarlison's incredible header hit a post and moved along the goalline.
