TL;DR

Curacao earned its first World Cup point in a 0-0 draw with Ecuador in Kansas City, highlighted by Eloy Room’s 15 saves — the most by any goalkeeper in a 90-minute World Cup match (Tim Howard’s 16 saves came across extra time in 2014). Ecuador, still without a goal in 2026 after a 0-0 vs Curacao and a 1-0 loss to Ivory Coast, must beat Germany to stay in knockout-round contention, while Germany clinched Group E with a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast.
