The Ecuador national football team stalled in the World Cup with a goalless draw against Curazao in Kansas City. Goalkeeper Eloy Room, born 37 years ago in the Netherlands, became the great figure by neutralizing the Ecuadorians with 15 decisive interventions. The German national team anticipated their qualification for the round of 32 by coming from behind to beat Costa de Marfil in the second matchday of Group E, thanks to two goals from Deniz Undav in the 68th and 94th minutes. The match between Japan and Tunisia, played at the Monterrey stadium, made history by becoming the 1,000th match since the start of the tournament in Uruguay 1930. The Netherlands national team thrashed Sweden 5-1 and took the lead in Group F, tied with Japan. Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo scored two goals each for the Dutch. Ecuador, who lost by a minimum in the agony of the debut match against Costa de Marfil, still does not know what it is to win in the World Cup. The Tri must defeat Germany to maintain their qualification options. Ecuador's coach, Gustavo Alfaro, must find a way to motivate his team for the next match. The draw against Curazao was a blow to the Ecuadorians, who expected to add their first three points in the tournament. However, the team must move forward and seek victory in their next match. The Netherlands' victory over Sweden was a significant result, as they became the first team to reach 100 goals in the World Cup. Cody Gakpo scored the 100th goal in the 54th minute of the match.
