Unai Simón Breaks World Cup Clean Sheet Record

Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón has set a new World Cup record with 519 minutes without conceding, surpassing Iker Casillas and Walter Zenga.

Unai Simón has become the World Cup's most dominant goalkeeper, extending his clean‑sheet streak to 519 minutes – eclipsing Iker Casillas’s 477‑minute run and Walter Zenga’s 517‑minute record from Italy ’90.

The achievement underlines Spain’s defensive resilience, as the team has conceded very few chances and is widely regarded as the tournament’s most solid side. afsport.lat
