Room made 15 saves to keep Ecuador's attack at bay, with Curacao's performance also ensuring that Germany would finish top of Group E after its earlier win over Ivory Coast. 

Ecuador's lightning start was almost rewarded in the third minute when Moises Caicedo's ball from deep sent Enner Valencia on his way, but after getting past Armando Obispo, his shot was brilliantly tipped behind by Room. 

Room continued to frustrate Ecuador, with John Yeboah seeing his low drive well held before the Curacao goalkeeper thwarted Valencia once again from close range after he latched on to Piero Hincapie's teasing ball into the penalty area. 

Yeboah's stinging 42nd-minute effort brought another save out of Room as Curacao held on until half-time, but Ecuador's pressure mounted after the break as Caicedo tried his luck from distance and forced another stop. 

It was another intervention by Room from Gonzalo Plata's header that led to a rare Curacao counter, but Hernan Galindez was on his toes to make two important saves to repel Leandro Bacuna and Livano Comenencia's attempts in quick succession. 

Room's extraordinary outing carried on just after the hour when he got down low to push Valencia's header behind, with the resulting corner seeing some heroic defending by Sherel Floranus followed up by Willian Pacho seeing his strike saved.

Both sides threatened a winner late on, with Galindez making a vital reflex stop to thwart Juninho Bacuna's deflected effort, though Room continued to outdo his opposite number with a flying save to tip Pedro Vite's drilled shot over. 

Even when Room was powerless, the woodwork was there to back him up in the 90th minute after Angelo Preciado's cross clipped the crossbar, with Curacao able to hold on to spark wild scenes among its travelling supporters.
