Make Room For Eloy: Curaçao Goalkeeper Has Historic Night Against Ecuador

Curaçao goalkeeper Eloy Room might have finished one save shy of the all-time record for saves in a single FIFA World Cup match, but he still made history against Ecuador on Saturday at Kansas City Stadium. With his 15-save performance, Room set the all-time record for the most saves by a goalkeeper in a single World Cup match that did not include extra time. United States men’s national legend Tim Howard, who holds the record for most saves in a single World Cup watch, made five of his saves in extra time. Room also holds the record for most saves by a goalkeeper in a World Cup match without conceding. Howard conceded two goals in the United States’ 2-0 loss to Belgium in the round of 16 at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Room had a nightmare start to the tournament, conceding seven goals to Germany. He followed it up with an awe-inspiring performance for Curaçao, recording a clean sheet and earning tournament debut Curaçao its first-ever point at the tournament.
