ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Spain broke a World Cup record<\/a> with its sixth consecutive clean sheet and goalkeeper Unai Sim\u00f3n extended his record for the tournament’s longest scoreless streak to 609 minutes in Monday’s 1-0 win over Portugal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spain broke a tie with Italy (1990) and Switzerland (2006-10) for the most consecutive World Cup matches without allowing a goal. Spain\u2019s streak began with a 0-0 draw in the round of 16 in 2022, when Morocco advanced after a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n
