SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Gullermo Ochoa made two brilliant saves to help Mexico tie Chile 0-0 in an international exhibition match Saturday night in front of a sellout crowd of 67,175 at Levi’s Stadium, the new home of the San Francisco 49ers.

The contest matched two teams that were eliminated in the Round of 16 during World Cup play. Mexico lost to the Netherlands, 2-1, and Chile lost to host Brazil in penalty kicks after playing to a scoreless draw.

El Roja coach Jorge Sampaoli kept his World Cup roster intact for the match while Mexico coach Miguel Herrera gave Miguel Angel Herrera and Oswaldo Alanis their first starts in an attempt to remold his squad. He kept 10 members from the Mexican World Cup roster.
