Ochoa slams door on Brazil

Mexico's Guillermo Ochoa produced one of the great World Cup goalkeeping performances on Tuesday, denting host Brazil's confidence and boosting his own job prospects by backstopping his team to a scoreless draw.

The 28-year-old, who has no club, hurled himself across the goal to parry away a Neymar shot and kept out a point-blank header by Brazil captain Thiago Silva in an astounding game.

While the player nick-named 'Memo' took a lap of honor at Castelao stadium, admirers were likening his agility to Gordon Banks' miracle save for England in 1970 when he stopped a header by Brazil's legendary Pele.
