Spain’s hopes of winning a second World Cup trophy in Qatar lie in the hands —and feet—of goalkeeper Unai Simon.

Luis Enrique’s possession-based system demands a goalkeeper brave enough to distribute to nearby team-mates, even when under immense pressure from opposition forwards. Simon survived scares against Germany in the 1-1 group stage draw, while he was at fault for Japan’s first goal in their shock 2-1 win over Spain on Thursday. With Spain losing, for a few minutes La Roja were due to be eliminated. They dodged that bullet when Germany triumphed, progressing in second place from Group E to set up Tuesday’s last 16 clash with Morocco.
