Curaçao’s historic first point at a World Cup is pretty much entirely thanks to one man. A 37-year-old goalkeeper who is the backup at Miami’s 2nd tier club. Eloy Room was so close to tying Tim Howard’s World Cup single game saves record of 16, but he’ll have to settle for 15 and 2nd place. Luckily, he did achieve a different record. Room now holds the all-time record for most saves in a clean sheet at the World Cup. The previous record was held by Memo Ochoa with 9, which he did back in 2018. Prior to Room, no goalkeeper had ever stopped double digit shots while keeping all of them out, he did it with 15. Incredible.
