By shining this Saturday with a save that gave its crew, AEL Limassol, three important factors in the start of Cypriot sports, Guillermo Ochoa doesn't want to give up on his bid to be named for the 2026 World Cup that will be played in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Ochoa continued his problem at 40 years old, taking advantage of the fact that Luis Malagon, Raul" Tala" Rangel, and Carlos Acevedo have had many ups and downs and do not inspire confidence in the Mexican national team, taking advantage of the criticism and feedback against him that his time works against him.

The keeper, a five-time World Cup senior, kept a fresh sheet when he returned from his Christmas break, allowing AEL Limassol to defeat Ethnikos Achnas 1-0 in games 16 of the Cypriot group.

Ochoa had a fantastic start to 2026, with the obvious goal of trying to be a key player in the 2026 World Cup and being able to retire in tone at the game on Mexican soil, where he has frequently never been valued at his real level as a national team player.

The match's just goal was scored by Zakaria Sawo from Sweden in the 70th minute, which required a few minutes to be validated before it could be reviewed by VAR. However, it finally proved enough to secure AEL Limassol's victory.

With this victory, AEL Limassol increased its lead to 24 points and moved into eighth place in the Cypriot League, returning to winning ways after drawing and losing at the end of 2025. The Mexican keeper completed his 13th game as a starter by demonstrating his unquestioned starting position for AEL Limassol. We'll have to wait and see if Javier Aguirre calls up Ochoa for the March FIFA window, which will be the next opportunity to name people from Europe for matches against Portugal and Belgium. The first match will take place in Chicago, USA, following Estadio Azteca's reopening, and the next one will take place in Chicago, USA. Choa will work hard to stay in shape and stay on the radar of the coaching staff for the Mexican national team, and this can only be accomplished through strong results for his team.
