Raúl Rangel Sets Clean Sheet Record at First World Cup

Raúl ‘Tala’ Rangel became the first Mexican to keep a clean sheet in four straight World Cup matches, totaling 347 minutes and six saves, surpassing Ignacio Cuate Calderón’s 56‑year‑old record.

In his debut World Cup, Mexico’s Raúl ‘Tala’ Rangel maintained a clean sheet for 347 minutes, a streak that includes four consecutive shutouts and six spectacular saves. This performance eclipses Ignacio Cuate Calderón’s 56‑year‑old record of 310 minutes without conceding.
