"clean sheet" (as in a shutout in football) in German?
'Eine reine / weisse / saubere Weste haben' is another possibility - 'to have a pure / white / clean vest'. Here's an example from basketball and here football. More generally the phrase is equivalent to English 'to have clean hands', i.e. be innocent of a charge (as explained here).
