Buffon set to break 22-year-old record in derby at Torino

Spectators at Stadio Olimpico do Torino probably won't have to wait long on Sunday to see one of Serie A's great records fall.

If home team Torino can't score against city rival Juventus in the first three minutes, then goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon will equal Sebastiano Rossi's 22-year-old record of consecutive minutes without conceding a goal.

One minute later, the record will be all Buffon's.

He hasn't let in a goal for 926 minutes.

Rossi kept a clean sheet for 929 minutes for AC Milan from Dec. 12, 1993 to Feb. 27, 1994, beating the previous mark set by former Juventus goalie Dino Zoff in 1972-73 by 26 minutes.
