The match of the other round of the World Cup 2026 against Curacao brought Ecuador's unimportant historical achievements with a minus sign.

The Ecuadorians became the first team in the history of the World Cup to score 15 shots on goal in one match and fail to score a single goal.. Zustrich ended in a goalless draw.

The previous anti-record lies with the team of the Netherlands, which at the 1978 World Championships scored 13 shots at the Peru gate, but also failed to unseal the opponent’s gate.

Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Rom played a key role in setting this record, making 15 saves and helping his team get the first point in the history of performances at world championships.

Yours truly, video of the highlights of the 2026 emergency match Ecuador - Curacao.
