Guillermo Ochoa must have been distracted. The Robin van Persie corner was wicked, Dirk Kuyt's movement direct; the Mexican goalkeeper span on his goalline to find Stefan de Vrij careering in from nowhere. The Dutch defender latched on to the cross with a sweetly-hit volley four yards out. Goal, surely? No, on the turn Ochoa threw out two big hands and punch away at point-blank range. It was one of the most stunning saves at this World Cup. And this was no fluke. That split-second decision, to get his head straight and look directly at the effort before throwing his arms out, was technically flawless.
