The 37-year-old goalkeeper was booed by his own fans in the game against Jamaica in the Concacaf Nations League.
The Mexican national team returned to the Azteca Stadium to face its counterpart from Jamaica for matchday 6 of the Concacaf Nations League. The duel between Mexicans and Jamaicans resulted in a ticket for the Final Four of the regional competition that will be played in the United States in the summer of this year.
Despite the national team’s early elimination in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, their return home was better than expected as tickets for this match had sold out the day before and the Colossus of Santa Úrsula looked full for an important game against the Caribbean.
During the first half of the game, a special situation arose among the fans towards Memo Ochoa. That’s why inside GOAL We tell you why this strange situation has arisen:
WHY WAS GUILLERMO OCHOA CALLED OUT AT AZTECA STADIUM?
At minute 7′ of the first half, Jamaica would surprise by being present on the scoreboard and scoring the first goal of the game thanks to Bobby Reid, after an error by the Mexican defense. Then the Mexican fans shouted “Acevedo” in unison to cheer on the Santos Laguna goalkeeper. Angers were also present for the five-time World Cup player every time he touched the ball, a rather atypical situation.
This is derived from the request of some of the fans who ask that the one who was born in Guadalajara withdraw from the Mexican national team and give space to the goalkeepers who come in the back fighting for a place in the Tricolor goal, such as Carlos Acevedo, Antonio RodrÃguez, among others.
