Summary
John Yeboah forced Eloy Room into another save, with the Curaçao goalkeeper parrying the Ecuador winger’s left-footed effort during a sustained Ecuador attack.
Room’s intervention fit the match pattern: Ecuador had 8 shots, 6 on target and 1.10 xG, while Curaçao had no shots on target and just 0.18 xG.
Ecuador also controlled possession and territory, completing 332 passes to Curaçao’s 108 and recording 14 touches in the opposition box.
The pressure mattered in Group A, where both Ecuador and Curaçao entered the match on 1 point and were trying to improve their standing.
