Published July 4, 2026 · Updated July 4, 2026 · Mundo Deportivo

Unai Simón has become the goalkeeper with the longest unbeaten run in World Cup history, surpassing former records and helping Spain’s defense secure its place as the tournament’s strongest.

After a 3-0 win over Austria, Unai Simón extended his clean‑sheet streak to 519 minutes, breaking Iker Casillas’s 477‑minute record and surpassing Walter Zenga’s 517 minutes from Italy ’90. The Athletic Club keeper’s achievement underscores Spain’s solid defensive form, which has limited opponents to fewer chances than any other squad in the current World Cup. freshyourfeel.org
