De Gea then very uncharacteristically allowed the ball to slip through his fingers and trickle into the net. It was reminiscent of Robert Green's error against the United States of America back in 2010.
This howler comes just three weeks after De Gea was critical of the ball being used at this summer's tournament.
The Manchester United keeper described the ball as "really strange" before adding that "It could have been made a lot better."
Goalkeepers are often critical of a new ball before a tournament, keen to explain how it swerves so much more than the other footballs used in top level football.
De Gea certainly got his excuses in early this time.
