KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) â Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Room made 15 saves against a relentless Ecuador attack, allowing The Blue Wave to earn a 0-0 draw against the heavily favoured La Tri on Saturday night and earn the tiny island nation its first-ever World Cup point.
The outcome also allowed Germany, which beat the Ivory Coast earlier in the day, to clinch Group E.
The 37-year-old Room, whose shutout of Jamaica last November sent Curacao to its first World Cup, bounced back from a 7-1 loss to Germany with one of the finest performances by a goalkeeper in World Cup history.
