Iker Casillas has set a record for most international wins after earning his 95th victory with Spain in a 4-1 drubbing of South Korea on Wednesday.
The Real Madrid goalkeeper replaced Pepe Reina in the 82nd minute to surpass former France defender Liliam Thuram and set the mark in his 130th appearance.
The 31-year-old Casillas has been a regular for Spain since the 2002 World Cup, and was the captain for the team's victories at the 2008 European Championship and 2010 World Cup.
Casillas also holds the international record for clean sheets which was at 73 before the friendly win at the AFG Arena in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
