A month ago he made history at the World Cup... now he conceded a goal from midfield
Eloy Room played again for his team in the USL Championship.
A month ago, at the 2026 World Cup, Eloy Room made history in the match between Curaçao and Ecuador, setting a new record for saves in a World Cup game with 15. This morning, back with his Miami FC, he experienced the other side of the game, conceding a goal from midfield.
Marco Micaletto, from Tampa Bay, was the author of the feat which, worst of all for Room, decided the final result of 3-2 against his team.
