After being only 57 minutes away from breaking Andrés Palop’s unbeaten record, who spent 780 consecutive minutes without conceding a single goal in official competition in the 08-09 season, Yassine Bounnou, ‘Bono’, did establish in El Sadar against Osasuna a new mark for the history of the Sevilla by becoming the goalkeeper who has been in the league the longest without picking up a ball from the back of the net.
The Moroccan goalkeeper surpassed Portuguese Beto on Monday as the goalkeeper who has spent the most minutes without conceding a goal in consecutive league matches in the history of the Andalusian team. The Portuguese goal reached 516 minutes in January 2015, surpassing Palop in turn. And now Bono reaches 527 minutes of unbeaten time after Julen Lopetegui’s team has remained without conceding goals in the clashes against Cádiz (3-0), Eibar (0-2), Getafe (3-0), Huesca (1- 0) and Osasuna (0-2), in addition to 78 minutes in the game prior to these appointments against Alavés (1-2) in which he received a goal in the 12th minute.
Sevilla ended their exceptional streak last Wednesday in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund after adding no less than 9 consecutive wins and 7 official matches without conceding a single goal.
