Curaçao makes history at the World Cup, stops Ecuador thanks to the miracles of goalkeeper Room

The 2026 World Cup continues to deliver extraordinary stories, and one of them comes from Curaçao.
The small Caribbean team achieved a historic result, drawing 0-0 with Ecuador in the second Group E match, held in Kansas City, and securing the first point in its history at a World Cup.
This is an unforgettable moment for the smallest country to ever participate in the World Cup finals.
After the final whistle, the players led by Dutch coach Dick Advocaat burst into celebration, singing and dancing on the pitch alongside the fans.
The absolute hero of the evening was goalkeeper Eloy Room. The Curaçao goalkeeper made a total of 15 crucial saves, keeping his team's goal intact in the face of Ecuador's constant attacks.
This is an incredible record for a World Cup match completed after 90 minutes, surpassed only by American Tim Howard, who made 16 saves against Belgium in the 2014 World Cup.
Thanks to Room's exceptional performance and the discipline of the entire team, Curaçao has now entered World Cup history, celebrating a point that is worth a victory and that will be long remembered by the fans of this small country.
