🚨 A Guinness record has just fallen at the World Cup! | OneFootball

Unai Simón has just written one of the most glorious chapters in World Cup history.

Thanks to another clean sheet in Spain’s 2-0 win over Austria, La Roja’s goalkeeper has officially become the shot-stopper with the longest unbeaten streak in the history of the competition. The Guinness World Record is his!

The Spanish keeper has now wiped Walter Zenga’s legendary record from the books. The Italian goalkeeper had gone 517 minutes without conceding a single goal at the 1990 World Cup, a historic feat that had stood for more than three decades.

Simón’s streak was built across two World Cup editions. It began at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with the final 39 minutes of the match against Japan, before continuing through the entire round-of-16 clash with Morocco, including extra time.

The Spanish goalkeeper then extended this incredible unbeaten run at the 2026 World Cup by recording four consecutive clean sheets in La Roja’s first four matches.

By claiming this all-time record, Unai Simón moves ahead of several legends in his position, including Iker Casillas, Peter Shilton, Sepp Maier, Gianluigi Buffon... and of course Walter Zenga.

This historic mark also rewards the impressive defensive solidity of Luis de la Fuente’s men, who reached the round of 16 without conceding a single goal in the group stage or the round of 32.
