Eloy Room made a total of 15 saves to help Curacao claim their first point at the World Cup with a 0-0 draw against Ecuador. The Island nation, the smallest country at this year’s World Cup, kept their faint knockout hopes alive with the result heading into the final set of fixtures in the group.
Germany’s win against Ivory Coast meant that both teams needed the win. While Ecuador had 15 shots on target and 75 percent possession, they struggled to get past Room and a determined Curacao side as celebrations kicked off at the full-time whistle with the players running to surround Room, who equalled the record for the most number of saves in a single World Cup game.
