On his first official visit with the United States Men’s National Team, Real Salt Lake goalkeeper David Ochoa traded in Utah’s snow-capped mountains for those found in the Swiss Alps as the team prepared to take on 13th-ranked Switzerland on Sunday.
For the first time in his international career Ochoa was named to the gameday roster, marking his first appearance on the bench with the National Team after previously playing for the various youth contingents.
Despite a valiant effort and a slick goal from the LA Galaxy’s Sebastain Lleget, the men of the Red, White and Blue came up short handed in a 2-1 defeat to kick off a stretch of four matches in 11 days.
