History has been made at the FIFA World Cup! Spain's star goalkeeper Unai Simón has shattered a 36-year-old world record, writing his name into football history.
Spain booked their place in the Round of 16 with a dominant 3-0 victory over Austria in the Round of 32. But the biggest talking point was goalkeeper Unai Simón. He set a new World Cup record by going 519 consecutive minutes without conceding a single goal. In doing so, he broke the previous record of 518 minutes, set by Italian legend Walter Zenga during the 1990 FIFA World Cup. The remarkable achievement has also earned Simón a place in the Guinness World Records.
Since the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Unai Simón has been one of the tournament's most consistent goalkeepers. His incredible run has now become a piece of football history, and with Spain advancing to the Round of 16, fans will be hoping their record-breaking goalkeeper can lead them even further.
