Ecuador national football team suffered a draw against Curacao in a thrilling match, goalkeeper Eloy Room made 15 saves to become the undisputed hero of his team. The game started with a clear script, Ecuador wanted to overwhelm their rival with pressure, many men on the attack and with goals that could serve them in case of finishing third. Curacao looked at the bet of 'La Tri' and accepted the challenge. The first chance was clear for Enner Valencia in the 2nd minute, but Room made one of the saves of the tournament. From there, the Caribbean team took advantage of a couple of errors in Ecuador's ball exit to mount two lightning-fast counterattacks. Ecuador wanted to lower the pace of the game, making the ball pass more through Moisés Caicedo, their great star. The chances arrived, but the goal did not and that made the nerves of Beccacece's men rise.

First, it was Bacuna with a good medium-distance shot that Galíndez saved, Comenencia, who had already scored against Germany, picked up the second play in the front of the area and hit it with all his might towards the base of the left post, but Galíndez stretched to make a save of great merit to avoid that the scare that Ecuador had in their body started to take on a smell of death, and Locadia saw how the third shot of the play was blocked by Moisés Caicedo when he was heading towards the goal. And it was with that chance that Ecuador made its appearance in the World Cup after 150 disastrous minutes against Costa Rica and the first 60 against the Antilleans. Based on a more direct football, with more centers and less elaboration, the chances started to arrive. Enner Valencia had a header that Room cleared well and in the subsequent corner kick, an inexplicable miracle occurred to narrate for Cu
