society

At the age of 18, Ochoa came on February 15, 2004 in a game between the Mexican capital club Club América against CF Monterrey (3-2) for his first professional appearance in the Mexican Primera División after the goalkeeper was injured. Because of his good performance, he quickly became the new number 1 between the posts of the Americanistas and soon made the jump into the squad of the national team .

Since 2003 Ochoa played for Club America, with whom he won the Clausura championship in 2005 and the North American Champions Cup . In 2007 he advanced to the final of the Copa Sudamericana with America , which was only lost to the Argentine club Arsenal de Sarandí due to the away goals rule . For the 2011/12 season Ochoa moved to France in the Corsican capital Ajaccio, where he played in Ligue 1 for AC Ajaccio . After his team in the 2013/14 season in the Ligue 2 was staying, he left the club and joined the FC Málaga on. For the 2016/17 season he was signed by Granada CF.

In July 2017 he moved to Standard Liège and won the Belgian Football Cup with the club in his first season 2017/18 . On March 17, 2019, Ochoa played his 250th game in Europe. Standard Liège won the game 4-3.

Although Ochoa had announced plans to change the 2019/20 season, no agreement had yet been reached to restart the game. Accordingly, he returned to Liege after the summer break, albeit a little late. According to his own information, visa problems with his daughter were the reason for the delay. Due to an injury from the Gold Cup final, he was also unable to play at the start of the season. On August 7, 2019, an agreement was reached that he would return to Club América , where his career began.

National team

Ochoa was nominated for the international match against Guatemala for the first time, but was not used. He made his international debut on December 14, 2005 against Hungary, which was won 2-0. He was the third goalkeeper in Mexico's squad at the 2006 World Cup in Germany . His greatest success so far with the national team was the 5-0 final victory over the hosts and Mexico's arch-rivals at the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2009 in the USA . Also at the 2010 World Cup , he was a substitute goalkeeper in the Mexican squad. Shortly before the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2011 , he and four teammates tested positive for Clenbuterol and suspended from the tournament. However , he was later acquitted of the allegation of doping because contaminated meat was suspected. At the tournament he played in the 5-0 win in the first group game against El Salvador . The Mexicans qualified as winners for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup , but only featured in the final group match against Japan , the only victory for the Central Americans, who were then able to return home in third place.

At the 2014 World Cup , he was voted “ Man of the Match ” in the second group game, the game against hosts Brazil . Ochoa had secured the 0-0 with several saves. Although he was eliminated with his team in the second round, Ochoa was again elected Man of the Match.

Together with the Mexican national team, Ochoa won the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup . In the summer of 2017 he was number one for the Mexican selection of the Confederation Cup in Russia and reached the semi-finals with the team, in which the Mexicans lost 4-1 to world champions Germany . In the subsequent game for third place against European champions Portugal he had to accept the goal to equalize 1: 1 in stoppage time and the goal to make the final score 1: 2 in extra time.

Ochoa reached the round of 16 at the 2018 World Cup with the Mexican national team, which they lost to Brazil. In the group stage, the team finished second behind Sweden . Ochoa, who showed nine parades in the preliminary round match against Germany alone, played a part in this ; Mexico won the game 1-0. With a total of 25 saves in four games, i.e. 6.25 per game, Ochoa received the Silver Glove behind the winner of the Golden Glove Thibaut Courtois .

On November 16, 2018, Guillermo Ochoa made his 100th international match for Mexico in a 2-0 loss to Argentina .

He was able to win the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2019 again with the national team, again by beating the USA in the final .
