Eloy Room turns hero as Curacao earn historic World Cup point against Ecuador

There have been a long list of firsts that have occurred throughout this year's World Cup, which features an expanded field of 48 teams, bumped from 32 where the field had stood since the 1998 tournament.

Ecuador, who finished second in South American qualifying, had 28 shots, including 15 on target, but Room stood firm in an astonishing display in Kansas City on Saturday.

The goalkeeper made the most saves (15) ever in a 90-minute World Cup match, with Ecuador held to a 0-0 draw in Kansas City

Enner Valencia unleashed five shots on target for the South Americans, yet was thwarted by Room on every single occasion.
