Spain Goalkeepr Unai Simon Enters Guinness World Records For Longest FIFA WC Clean Sheet
Guinness World Records: Spain's goalkeeper Unai Simon has etched his name into football history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest clean sheet in FIFA World Cup finals matches.
After Spain's 3-0 win over Australia to set up a last-16 tie against Portugal, Spanish shot-stopper has gone an incredible 519 minutes without conceding a goal on the sport's biggest stage, surpassing a milestone that had stood untouched for over three decades.
Simon's feat eclipses the previous record of 518 minutes, which was set by Italy's legendary goalkeeper Walter Zenga, whose streak ended in the 67th minute of the 1990 World Cup semifinal against Argentina.
