Guillermo Ochoa, Mexican Spiderman and Russia Comes Back from Korea

The middle match of the day saw Brazil and Mexico play to only the second tie this World Cup. The goals didn't come, and both have left a glimmer of hope for Croatia and Cameroon to still make it out of the group.  Mexican goalkeeper and player of the match Guillermo Ochoa played spoiler as Brazil had several opportunities to score but were thwarted by the Mexican wall. He was like Spiderman.

The headlining game of the night was Korea vs Russia. In stark contrast to Ochoa's performance, Russian goalkeeper Igor Afinkeev bobbled an easy save from Lee Keun-Ho's shot that gave Korea the 1-0 lead. Keun-Ho is yet another substitute to come in and score. Not to be outdone, Russian substitute Aleksandr Kerzhakov scored of a frenzy in front of the Korean goal. As a result, this game ended 1-1. Ties are a rarity this cup, but they're starting to come in groups.
