Italy broke the record for the longest unbeaten run in international football after they were held to a goalless draw by Switzerland in a World Cup qualifier yesterday morning (Singapore time), with Jorginho again missing a penalty.

Italy have not lost for 36 consecutive matches, breaking the 35-match unbeaten run record that had previously been shared by Spain and Brazil. Brazil's record was set between 1993 and 1996, while Spain's took place from 2007 to 2009.
