Terrible mistake! World Cup 2026's best goalkeeper gifts Sevilla a bizarre goal. VIDEO
Unai Simón will not want to watch this episode again.
Details: A nightmare moment for Athletic's goalkeeper occurred in the 15th minute of the LaLiga clash with Sevilla at San Mamés. Robbie Ure put Simón under pressure with a physical challenge, the goalkeeper failed to deal with the situation, and Oso immediately took advantage to send the ball into the net.
The episode made the score 0-1 and completed a disastrous few minutes for the hosts. Just four minutes earlier, Athletic had been reduced to ten men after Yuri Berchiche was shown a red card for pushing Sevilla attacker Miguel Sierra.
There was also a question over whether Ure had fouled Simón before the goal. However, former referee and AS expert Iturralde González assessed the contact as a legal shoulder challenge, meaning the goalkeeper's costly mistake remained the decisive element of the episode.
The blunder looks particularly striking given Simón's performances earlier this summer. FIFA awarded the Athletic goalkeeper the adidas Golden Glove as the best goalkeeper of the 2026 World Cup after Spain won the tournament. Simón kept seven clean sheets in eight matches and conceded only one goal throughout the competition.
