Muslera Enters World Cup History with Negative Record

The Uruguayan Fernando Muslera recorded a negative statistic during his country's match against Spain, held as part of the third round of the group stage in the 2026 World Cup. The current score indicates that the Spanish team is leading by one goal to nil.

Opta, the statistics network, reported that Muslera became the first goalkeeper to commit three direct errors leading to goals against his team in a single World Cup edition since this statistic began being recorded in 1966.

This statistic reflects a difficult night for the Uruguayan goalkeeper, who found himself in an undesirable historical position during the tournament, as his name became associated with this negative figure.

This figure comes at a time when the Uruguay national team continues its efforts to come back against Spain, while this record highlights one of the most notable individual statistics in the match.
