The 2.0L is an "interference" engine. If the timing belt was not replaced at the recommended interval, and it broke, the valves are going to be bent and will need to be replaced. When the camshaft stopped spinning, the valves for one cylinder were closed, so they were saved. That is the cylinder that still has compression.
