Tim Howard Denies Jesus Corona By Tipping His Drive Onto The Post

Only 10 minutes into the United States versus Mexico in Columbus, Ohio, and it looked as though El Tri would break their scoreless jinx at the ground. Jesus ‘Tecatito’ Corona somehow made his way through three American defenders before sending a curling effort on frame.

The wicked shot rebounded off the frame of goal, and replays show that American goalkeeper Tim Howard played a massive role in that Mexican misfortune. A finger-tip save from the Colorado Rapids keeper pushed it onto the post, narrowly avoiding a fantastic opener for the visiting team.

WHAT A SAVE! Howard comes up with a big fingertip save to deflect ball off the post and out of danger. #USAvMEX, 0-0, 10'
