Casillas breaks international wins record

Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas has set a new record in international football following the national team's 4-1 victory over South Korea.

The Real Madrid shotstopper became the player with the most international victories to his name, having been on the winning side 95 times in 130 appearances.

France's Lilian Thuram originally set the second, with Egypt's Ahmed Hassan going on to equal it, according to Goal.com

Casillas, who was introduced as a second-half substitute, is also the fourth most-capped goalkeeper in history, behind Saudi Arabia's Mohamed Al-Deayea, Sweden's Thomas Ravelli, and South Korea's Lee Won-Jae.
