World Cup 2026 LIVE: Curacao goalkeeper makes history, Egypt coach denies Salah rift, another team crashes out | OneFootball

Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Room wrote his name into World Cup history by making 15 saves, the most in a 90-minute match since records began in 1966, as the smallest nation ever to qualify for the tournament finals held Ecuador to a 0-0 draw.

Six days after losing 7-1 to Germany, Room, 37, produced a stunning performance to keep Curacao’s hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages alive.

“I grew, we all grew, this was a team effort,” he said. “We've been fighting, fighting up to the last minute. Earning a point this way for Curacao is absolutely great.”

Meanwhile, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan dismissed talk of unrest ​involving talisman Mohamed Salah, insisting there were no issues within the squad as they prepare to face New Zealand. Later, Spain bid to get their first win against Saudi Arabia, while Belgium are in action against Iran.

Last night, Tunisia became the third team to exit the World Cup after a 4-0 defeat to impressive Japan. Tunisia sacked their coach Sabri Lamouchi after their 5-1 defeat to Sweden, but the arrival of Herve Renard could not prevent another defeat.
