Advocaat: Fortunately, we managed to hold onto the result

Dick Advocaat spoke after Curaçao's historic 0-0 draw against Ecuador, which earned his team their first point at a FIFA World Cup finals.

“I think it was a really great match from our perspective. You could see the fatigue in our players' legs towards the end. Fortunately, we managed to hold onto the result. And it was deserved, because we also had chances to score. So it was a good match,” Advocaat stated immediately after the game.

In the final group stage match, Curaçao will face Ivory Coast, and a victory would see them qualify for the knockout rounds.

The match is scheduled for June 25th (Thursday) at 11:00 PM Bulgarian time. This game, along with all 104 other matches from the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, will be broadcast live on bnt.sportal.bg.
