Curacao national team goalkeeper Eloy Rom commented on his record-breaking performance in the 2026 World Cup match against Ecuador, which ended in a goalless draw.

The 37-year-old goalkeeper has advanced to the history of the World Cup, having made 15 saves in the main hour of the match - the highest figure in the entire history of the tournament without adjusting the additional hour.

" For me, as well as for the goalkeeper, this may be an ideal match.

I’m also writing as a team, because we were killed by the whole team. I'm making saves, but we thought about the team, including the Gravians, who came in as substitutes.

Well, I think I need a statue in Curacao,” said Rom.

Thanks to the brilliant performance of its goalkeeper, Curacao kept the goal dry, and got the first point in its history at the world championships. Rum became the main hero of the battle, having defeated all 15 shots of his opponent in the area of \u200b\u200bthe goal..
