Clean sheet against Saudi Arabia
Simon recorded one save and a clean sheet in Sunday's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Simon would have an easy day in net against Saudi Arabia, as the goalie was only forced to make one save as he picked up a clean sheet. That said, his World Cup has been relatively easy thus far, only making two saves while earning two clean sheets. With Uruguay on the final day of the group stage, he could face a bit more of a challenge.
Keeps clean sheet Monday
Simon had one save and secured a clean sheet in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Cape Verde.
Analysis: Simon got the starting nod for Spain's World Cup opener, beating out both David Raya and Joan Garcia who are coming off excellent club seasons. Simon did not have to do much to earn a clean sheet, only making one easy save on a header late in the match. It's hard to judge Simon and Spain's defensive performance given they had the ball in the opposing half for nearly the entire match, though that's the way the European Champions want to play. Next up is a tilt with Saudi Arabia Sunday in Atlanta, another favorable matchup where Spain is expected to dominate possession once again.
