Translated & summarized from Ynet by baba
The story · English

Curaçao made history by collecting its first point ever in a World Cup after drawing 0-0 with Ecuador. The Caribbean side, the smallest country ever to appear at the tournament and making its first qualification this year, held on for the result in a Group 5 match.

The game was played in Kansas, where Ecuador dominated possession and chances but could not find a breakthrough. Ecuador finished with 28 shots on goal, compared with 10 for the underdog Curaçao, yet the score remained goalless.

After the draw, both teams have one point apiece. Above them in the group are Ivory Coast with 3 points and Germany with 6, and both Curaçao and Ecuador now face the risk of elimination.
