2026 World Cup: Curaçao’s Eloy Room nears single-game saves record to force stunning 0-0 draw against Ecuador

Curaçao goalkeeper Eloy Room made 15 saves on Saturday, June 21, 2026, just one short of the single-game World Cup saves record, as Curaçao held Ecuador to a 0-0 draw despite La Tri registering 28 total attempts on goal. The result marks the second scoreless draw of the 2026 World Cup and is considered a historic achievement for Curaçao, the smallest nation ever to compete at the tournament. Room's heroic performance came as a remarkable turnaround after he had previously conceded seven goals against Germany earlier in the tournament.
