Spain set remarkable World Cup record in knockout win over Portugal 🧤 After a tense 1-0 victory in the Round of 16 against Portugal, Spain have set a new World Cup record. La Roja have become the first men's side to keep a clean-sheet in each of their first five matches in a single World Cup. Remarkably, the win also extends Unai Simón's personal streak, taking the 29-year-old keeper to 609 minutes played since he lasted conceded in the World Cup, another tournament record. Simon's record dates back to 2022, when Spain lost 2-1 in their final group stage match against Japan. Since then, the Spanish keeper has been immense, making countless saves, including a few today against Cristiano Ronaldo. After Spain's eye-catching attacking performances took them to glory in EURO 2024, you have to wonder if it will be Simón's excellence that takes them to World Cup glory this summer?
