Well, Mexico is back in Fortaleza on Sunday afternoon for another tough challenge against the Netherlands, and “Memo” Ochoa is once again busy robbing opponents.
After Giovani dos Santos scored the opening goal of the game early in the second-half to put El Tri up 1-0, the Netherlands had an opportunity off of a set piece from the corner to even the score.
