🥅 So close: the clean-sheet record in Unai Simón's hands | OneFootball

Unai Simón is on the verge of making major history at the World Cup. According to MisterChip’s data, the goalkeeper is chasing a double clean-sheet record. His performances between the posts have completely locked down Spain’s goal.

If the keeper goes 51 minutes without conceding, he will break the national record. He will become the Spanish goalkeeper with the longest unbeaten run in World Cup history. In doing so, he will surpass the legendary marks set by historic goalkeepers such as Iker Casillas.

The real prize will come if he manages to keep a clean sheet for the entire match. With 90 unbeaten minutes, Simón will set the best run in World Cup history. No one in world football will have reached such a defensive milestone.

This milestone reflects both his maturity and the team’s great solidity. Criticized in the past, Unai has made Spain’s goal his own, and done so convincingly.

The countdown has already begun, and anticipation around the goalkeeper is at its peak. The next match will be a direct battle against the clock and for a place in the epic. La Roja’s lock is just one step away from eternal immortality. All that remains is to find out the opponent: Austria or Algeria.
