Unai Simon becomes first goalkeeper to go 519 World Cup minutes without conceding

Unai Simon, the Spanish goalkeeper, became the first to achieve 519 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal at the World Cup, surpassing the previous record held by Walter Zenga. This milestone came during Spain's 3-0 win against Austria, marking his fourth consecutive clean sheet. Simon's performance has contributed to Spain remaining the only team without a goal conceded in the tournament. While not a high-profile figure, his consistency has earned recognition, supported by his long-term partnership with coach Luis De La Fuente. Simon has maintained his position as Spain's starting goalkeeper despite competition from other players, having spent his entire club career with Athletic Bilbao.
