Curaçao created history by earning their first-ever FIFA World Cup point after a remarkable 0-0 draw against Ecuador in Group E.
Goalkeeper Eloy Room delivered a sensational performance, making a record 15 saves — the most by any goalkeeper in a World Cup match since 1966 without extra time. Ecuador dominated proceedings with 28 shots and 15 on target but failed to beat Room, who inspired Curaçao’s resilient defensive display.
The result keeps Curaçao’s knockout hopes alive in their debut World Cup appearance. The draw also confirmed Germany as Group E winners after their victory over Côte d’Ivoire.
