Comments:

This was Ecuador’s second goalless draw in their 15 games at FIFA World Cup tournaments: previously versus France in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. . La Tri had 15 shots on target during his game. It become the most-ever by a team that failed to score in a game at the FIFA World Cup finals: previously 13 by Netherlands against Peru in Mendoza, Argentina in 1978. [c/o @MisterChiping] . They had now failed to score in consecutive games at FIFA World Cup tournaments for the second time: previously against Germany (0-3) and England (0-1) in 2006 in Germany.

Comments:

Having qualified for the first time, Curacao (population 156,000, similar to Ibarra in Ecuador) had now become the smallest nation to earn a point at a FIFA World Cup tournament. . They had now became the third team at this FIFA World Cup tournament to have five players in their starting line-up aged 32 years or older: also Iran (six) and Brazil (five). . Juninho and Leandro Bacuna had now become the first-ever brothers to both be booked in the same game at a FIFA World Cup finals.
