Liverpool goalkeeper was back in action.
Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was back in action for Belgium as the Red Devils beat Saudi Arabia.
Belgium eased to a 4-0 victory, picking up momentum ahead of the World Cup.
Mignolet was standing in for injured Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
He is scheduled to be a back-up for the World Cup, as he is at Liverpool currently, but Mignolet is confident he can step up if called upon.
Speaking after the game to Nieuwsbald, Mignolet said: “It is indeed my second clean sheet in a row with the Red Devils.
“Not that this match against Saudi Arabia is the most difficult match we have ever played, but Saudi Arabia is a World Cup-goer, we made many chances and scored some nice goals.
“For me personally, not only was the result important, but I was particularly pleased that I played 90 minutes, at Liverpool it was a while since I was in action, and I did not have to do great things.”
This was Mignolet’s first match since January’s 3-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.
He has lost his place to Loris Karius, who has really stepped up since coming into the Liverpool side.
Whether he gets another game this season for his club is unclear, but featuring in this latest international friendly keeps him fresh for in case he is called upon.
