Tunisia-Japan is the 1,000th game in the history of the World Cup finals ☝️
Every player and referee is wearing a commemorative patch for the milestone.
37-year-old Eloy Room just delivered one of the most clutch goalkeeping performances in World Cup history‼️
The Curaçao keeper made 15 saves, the most since Tim Howard's 2014 World Cup record, to keep Ecuador scoreless for a second consecutive match 😱
0 - Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal is the first player on record since 1966 to play the first 30 minutes of a FIFA World Cup match without touching the ball once.
Peripheral.
