Kansas City, June 21 -- Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Room produced a record-breaking performance for the ages as the Caribbean nation secured a historic 0-0 draw against Ecuador in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group E clash, earning their first-ever point at the tournament and denting Ecuador's hopes of reaching the knockout stage.

The 37-year-old goalkeeper delivered a sensational display in Kansas City, making 15 saves -- the most by a goalkeeper in a World Cup match that did not go to extra time. His heroics eclipsed every regulation-time goalkeeping performance in the tournament's history, with only former United States goalkeeper Tim Howard's 16-save display against Belgium in 2014 coming close, a feat achieved over 120 minutes.
