Spain's Unai Simón had double cause for celebration on Thursday night.
The goalkeeper not only saw his side advance to the round of 16, but he also set a new Guinness World Record for the longest World Cup clean sheet streak after Spain comfortably beat Austria 3-0 in Los Angeles.
Simón has now gone 519 minutes without conceding a goal for La Roja, breaking the previous record of 518 minutes, which was set by Italian keeper Walter Zenga in 1990. Zenga's run was finally ended by a second-half goal from Argentina's Claudio Caniggia in the semifinal of Italia '90.
