A heroic performance from goalkeeper Eloy Room has created history for Curacao as they earned a first World Cup point by holding Ecuador to a 0-0 draw in Kansas City.
The 37-year-old Room made 15 saves - just one shy of the record 16 set by American Tim Howard in an extra-time loss to Belgium in 2014 since saves became an officlal World Cup stat in 1966.
He acted as a one-man barrier on Saturday, with Dick Advocaat's brave side bouncing back from their 7-1 thrashing by Germany in their opening game.
The point, a historic result for a tiny nation with just 158,000 people, keeps their unlikely hopes of advancing through Group E alive and they will progress to the knockout stages if they can somehow beat Ivory Coast in their final match.
