Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martines has signed a record in the final match of the 2026 World Cup against Spain.
Sport.Biz reports that the 33-year-old goalkeeper deflected 10 shots from the opponent in the main time of the match.
This is the highest result shown by a goalkeeper in the finals of the World Cup since the statistics have been kept since 1966. Martines' confident performance played a crucial role in Argentina's main time ending without a goal, despite Spain's great superiority.
The match, held at the "MetLife" stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, ended 0:0 in the main time. In extra time, Spain became the world champion with Ferran Torres' only goal.
