Mexico coach Miguel Herrera felt his side`s 0-0 draw with Brazil showed they can be a match for any side at the World Cup. Herrera watched on as his side kept the hosts at bay in front of an expectant crowd in Fortaleza on Tuesday. In a somewhat scrappy affair, Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa made three crucial saves - two to deny Neymar and one from Brazil captain Thiago Silva in the dying moments - as the game ended in a stalemate. Mexico`s best efforts came from Hector Herrera and Juan Vazquez from distance and their coach felt a draw, which leaves their qualification fate in their own hands, was deserved. "It was a very even match," he said. "The team proved that we are ready for anything. "It tastes like a tie. We had a great game against a great opponent, its people and their stadium." Ochoa produced a superb save in the first half, flying to his right to claw away Neymar`s nodded effort, before being in the right place to repel Silva`s powerful close-range header three minutes from time. And Herrera insisted he had become accustomed to his keeper putting in such a performance. "As expected, he made three extraordinary saves," he said. .
