The Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, known as Memo, has experienced ups and downs in his football career in Europe. In the most recent match of the Portuguese league between AVS and Arouca, Ochoa conceded a goal in the last minute, marking his five-hundredth goal against in European lands. This negative milestone in his career becomes more striking considering that he has conceded 500 goals in just 316 matches played, tarnishing his record on the Old Continent.
In comparison, the previous year Ochoa had reached 1000 goals against in his career during 724 matches. Among the teams where he has conceded the most goals are ACA Ajaccio with 186 goals in 116 matches, Standard Liège with 113 in 86 matches, Salernitana with 77 in 41 matches, Granada with 82 in 39 matches, Málaga with 19 in 19 matches, AVS Futebol with 23 in 15 matches, and Arouca, the team that scored the 500th goal against him.
The goal that marked the five-hundredth against for Ochoa happened at minute 89 in the Estádio do Desportivo das Aves, breaking a goalless tie, with a long-distance shot from Tiago Esgaigo that surprised the Mexican goalkeeper, who was poorly positioned in his goal and could not stop it.
Memo Ochoa, recognized for his notable career in Mexican football, has had an inconsistent performance in Europe, a situation that was evident with this recent negative milestone of conceding 500 goals in that region. This new setback leaves Ochoa's team close to the relegation zone in position 15 with 23 points, showing a complicated outlook for the season.
