Memo Ochoa is still not having a good time in the Italian championship, after they added another defeat, the second by a landslide this season. The Granata have not been able to win any of their seven games, having a record of four losses and three draws.
Salernitana received Inter Milan at the Stadio Arechi, who had lost their undefeated streak half a week ago and were seeking to remain at the top of the standings.

The Mexican goalkeeper was considered for the initial draw, however, he met Lautaro Martínez who came out on a spectacular night. The Argentine forward showed the level at which he is being the scorer of all his team’s goals, performing a poker.

Guillermo Ochoa and his defense managed to keep a clean sheet during the first half, although everything fell apart in the second half. Lautaro opened the scoring in the 62nd minute assisted by Marcus Thuram, extending the lead 15 minutes later, at 77′.

At 85′ he completed the hat-trick from the penalty spot and closed the score at 89, becoming the scoring leader with 9 scores, four behind Víctor Osimhen. With this victory, Inter reached 18 points, tied on points with AC Milan, but with a better goal difference.
For its part, Salernitana is in the penultimate position of the classification with only 3 points obtained, only above Empoli and Cagliari who have not yet played their match on this day. With a series of combinations, the Granatas could fall to last place, something that would undoubtedly set off alarm bells regarding relegation.
The Mexican goalkeeper is having a nightmare start after having received 14 goals so far, in addition to receiving goals in all duels, with an average of two goals allowed per game. A quota that is not at all pleasant for the American youth squad taking into account that last season he received 33 goals in 20 games he played, finishing with an average of 1.68 goals per game.

Salernitana will have a relaxed schedule for the next few dates, facing direct rivals due to relegation, so they will have to take advantage to get as many victories as possible. Their next duel will be against Monza, whom they will have to visit on Sunday, October 8, this before the FIFA date of the month, which will serve to give them a break.
In addition to the goals allowed in Serie A, Guillermo Ochoa also has bad numbers in the Mexican National Team, since during his first call-up this season he received five goals. In the September friendlies, Australia managed to score twice and Uzbekistan three times.
Furthermore, against the Uzbekistan National Team he had some responsibility for the third goal, which generated criticism against him, pointing out that it is time for him to pass the baton to another goalkeeper. The Mexican will be in the eye of the hurricane throughout the season regarding the issue of relegation, since he would complete one more remembering that it was something that he already experienced in France and Spain.
