It’s day 11 in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and after Curaçao made history by becoming the smallest nation ever to win a point at the World Cup, you can follow everything going on from another busy day at the tournament right here, with ESPN.
Goalkeeper Eloy Room followed in the footsteps of Cape Verde‘s Vozinha on Saturday night, becoming a cult hero overnight by making 15 saves in Curaçao’s 0-0 draw with Ecuador.
– Deniz Undav is Germany’s super sub again in comeback win vs. Ivory Coast
– Curaçao keeper Room ties Howard’s World Cup saves record in draw
The feat sees Room equal Tim Howard in 2014 for the most in a World Cup since 1966, and breaks the record for the most saves at the tournament in normal time.
It also means that both Ecuador and Curaçao likely need a win on the final day to stand a chance of progressing to the knockout stages.
Elsewhere, Deniz Undav continued his remarkable form for Germany by coming off the bench to score a brace, including a stoppage-time winner, in his side’s 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast.
Franck Kessié had given the African side, who were the better team for much of the contest, the lead in the first half.
In Saturday night’s final game, Japan inflicted more misery on Tunisia with a 4-0 win thanks to a brace from Ayase Ueda and goals from Daichi Kamada and Junya Ito.
All of that came after the Netherlands recovered from a disappointing draw with the Samurai Blue in their opening game to stroll to a 5-1 victory over Sweden. Cody Gakpo and Brian Brobbey each got two, with Crysencio Summerville adding the fifth.
