Ecuador Vs Curacao, FIFA World Cup 2026: Curacao secured their first-ever FIFA World Cup point on Saturday (June 20, 2026), holding Ecuador to a hard-fought 0-0 draw in Kansas City. Goalkeeper Eloy Room was the standout performer for the debutants, producing a record-equalling 15 saves to deny Ecuador despite La Tri creating chances worth 3.05 expected goals. Ecuador controlled much of the contest and came close through captain Enner Valencia, who missed their best opportunities in the first half, but Curaçao’s disciplined defensive effort kept them from finding a breakthrough. After suffering a heavy 7-1 defeat to Germany in their opening match, Curaçao showed remarkable resilience to earn a valuable point. The result confirms Germany will finish top of Group E, while Curacao remain in contention for qualification ahead of their final match against Ivory Coast, with Ecuador facing Germany in a crucial encounter.
