Spain were held to a 3-3 draw by Brazil in a match in which 'La Roja' easily dominated the 'Selecao' throughout the first half. In fact, the Spaniards took an early two-goal lead but a blunder by Unai Simon before the end of the first 45 minutes left Brazil alive going into the second half.
The mistake by the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper allowed Rodrygo to pull one back before the break. Simon gave the ball away carelessly to the Real Madrid winger who pounced with a lob. Teen sensation fired Brazil level five minutes into the second half.
However, despite Simon's poor performance, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente defended him in the post-match press conference claiming that he is "the best goalkeeper in the world". Take a look at the Spanish coach's words.
