Curaçao made history at the 2026 World Cup on Sunday, securing their first ever point at a World Cup finals after holding Ecuador to a 0-0 draw in their Group 5 second-round fixture.
The result leaves both sides on one point, with Ecuador sitting third in the group on goal difference ahead of Curaçao in fourth.
The stakes are high for both teams in the final round of group matches. Curaçao face Ivory Coast, who sit second with three points, while Ecuador take on group leaders Germany, who have already accumulated six points from two games.
Qualification from Group 5 now looks a distant prospect for both teams, but Curaçao will take something from the occasion regardless of what follows.
