With his shutout in Sunday’s match, Room moved past FC Cincinnati’s Przemysław Tyton to become the 2020 MLS regular-season leader in shutouts.
ROOM CURRENTLY HOLDS THIRD LONGEST SHUTOUT STREAK IN CLUB HISTORY
Following the 90 scoreless minutes against FC Cincinnati, goalkeeper Eloy Room brought his shutout streak to 461 minutes.
