Stubborn World Cup debutants Curaçao earned a much deserved first point at the tournament in their history while severely denting Ecuador’s hope of reaching the knockouts in an entertaining 0-0 draw in Group E.
Enner Valencia, Gonzalo Plata, Moises Caicedo, and substitute Nelson Angulo all went close as Ecuador had 15 shots on target and 27 in total, only to be denied by a heroic performance from goalkeeper Eloy Room.
Although Ecuador are not mathematically out of the World Cup just yet, they face a Germany side who beat today’s opponents 7-1 and are already through to the round of 32 in their final group match needing an improbable victory.
Prior to this morning’s fixture Ecuador boss Sebastián Beccacece claimed he wanted his side to “defend like ******* nal and attack like Barcelona”, with the South Americans becoming noted for their lack of goalscoring prowess.
