Clean sheets are hard to come by in the 2026 World Cup

The first round of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico saw an increase in goal-scoring rates, with the matches producing 215 goals in 72 games, averaging 2.99 goals per match — the highest rate since 1958. Only two goalkeepers, from Spain and Mexico, kept clean sheets out of the 48 teams, with very few teams maintaining this defensive record amid the difficulty in preserving defensive solidity due to the increased attacking play and counterattacks. Some major teams conceded goals, reflecting the defensive challenges faced in the tournament.
