🇨🇼🧤 What a story this is.
At 37 years old and playing in the second tier of American football, Eloy Room has just produced one of the greatest goalkeeping displays this World Cup has seen.
The Curaçao captain made 15 saves in only his second-ever World Cup appearance, helping his country earn the first World Cup point in their history thanks to a 0-0 draw against Ecuador. A true national hero. ❤️
The perfect ending followed too. After collecting his Man of the Match award, Room ran straight to the stands to embrace and kiss his wife. Trophy in hand, emotions pouring out, and a moment neither he nor Curaçao will ever forget. 🥹🏆
Today, football won. ❤️⚽️
