FIFA WC 2026: Room’s 15-save Masterclass Earns Curacao Historic First World Cup Point

By IANS News June 21, 2026 • 07:58 AM View: 78

FIFA World Cup: Eloy Room's incredible saves helped Curacao to secure their first World Cup point after playing out a goalless draw with Ecuador in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group E encounter here at the Kansas City Stadium on Sunday.

Curacao, the smallest country to ever compete at the global finals, scripted an otherworldly story as Goalkeeper Room was the 15-save hero as they drew 0-0 with Ecuador.

This is just the third goalless draw in 33 World Cup encounters between CONMEBOL and Concacaf nations. The other two were Uruguay 0-0 Mexico - 1966 group stage and Brazil 0-0 Mexico in the 2014 group stage.
