Unai Simon - Concedes one in draw Simon conceded one goal and made five saves during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Argentina.
Impact Simon conceded just one goal in three group stage games, and this one came from an unmarked header off a corner, so the defense is just as much at fault. This should keep Simon in good form for the quarterfinal matchup with Cote D'ivoire, which scored three goals in their first three matches so far.

Unai Simon - Keeps clean sheet in opener Simon kept a clean sheet with one save made during Thursday's scoreless draw with Egypt.
Impact Simon has been the top national team goalie all summer and he's began the Olympics with another positive performance. With one of the stronger defenses available in front of him, Simon should be worth tracking throughout the tournament.

Impact Berchiche had already missed the final nine matches of the 2020/21 season with a hamstring injury and will miss a similar tally if he's able to return by late October. This will give Mikel Balenziaga the starting job at left-back to open the coming campaign.

Unai Simon - Concedes one in regular time Simon conceded one goal and made one save during Friday's 2-1 win over Switzerland on penalties.
Impact Simon was only beaten by a defensive mixup and was otherwise composed in his decision making throughout the contest.

Unai Simon - Gives up howler, still gets win Simon conceded three goals and made four saves during Monday's 5-3 win over Croatia.
Impact Simon first misplayed a pass from Pedri that went straight into his own net before a composed performance kept his team in contention to win. He's had a solid tournament so far with two clean sheets in four games, so Simon should remain a good option if the matchup isn't too difficult and he puts his mistake well in the past.

Unai Simon - Keeps clean sheet in win Simon kept a clean sheet with no saves made during Wednesday's 5-0 win over Slovakia in Group E.
Impact Simon walks out of the group stage with just one goal conceded and one save made. If the attack can score at the same pace that it did in this game, then Simon will go from a reliable player to one of the better goalkeeping options in the tournament during the knockout rounds.
