Exceptional effort despite loss
Verbruggen made five saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout loss versus Morocco.
Analysis: Verbruggen was outstanding for the Dutch on Monday despite the loss and goal allowed, as the goalie would make five incredible saves, with two likely to compete for the save of the tournament. However, he would see a slight blemish during the penalty shootout, as he appeared to save a penalty that would have kept them in for a sixth round, although it would go in off his leg following the save. Verbruggen proved to have a solid World Cup after a rough opening match, as he would combine for 16 saves and five goals allowed, although he will be disappointed not to have earned a clean sheet.
Concedes once against Tunisia
Verbruggen recorded three saves and gave up one goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over Tunisia.
Analysis: Verbruggen batted away a few shots but could do little on a very precise header by Hazem Mastouri that found the bottom corner on a set piece. He has yet to keep a clean sheet through three games, while he has made 11 saves and surrendered four goals. Up next, the Netherlands will face Morocco on Monday in the Round of 32.
