Curaçao has etched its name in football history. The Dutch Caribbean island became the smallest nation ever to score at a FIFA World Cup, equalizing against four-time champion Germany during a Group E match in Houston.

The historic moment arrived in the 23rd minute. A Curaçao attack resulted in a shot that deflected off a German defender and past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, sending fans inside Houston Stadium into a frenzy.

With a population of just 150,000, Curaçao is currently competing against one of the sport's most dominant powers on the world stage.
