Casillas hits personal clean sheet record at Porto with 9 matches left
Iker Casillas is enjoying a fruitful swansong since switching the Spanish capital for the industrial northwest Portuguese hub of Porto in 2015, recording a personal best 16th league clean sheet of the season on Friday night.
The 4-0 Primeira Liga win at Arouca, coming courtesy of a Tiquinho brace and solitary strikes from Danilo Pereira and Diogo Jota, meant Casillas surpassed 15 clean sheets, which he tallied three times for Real Madrid in La Liga.
There are still nine matches left of the league season, and Porto - which has the best defensive record in the division - has a two-point advantage over Benfica atop Liga NOS going into Saturday's fixtures.
The 35-year-old won 13 major titles for Los Blancos after progressing through the youth ranks, and won the 2010 World Cup and two European Championships with Spain. He last turned out for his country in a 6-1 trouncing of South Korea in a friendly on June 1, 2016.
