Ecuador vs Brazil results: Referee and VAR tell stars in wild World Cup qualifiers, ending 1-1

Ecuador and Brazil played one of the wild, incident-filled matches of the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign in South America. The result was 1-1, but it was a game where seven yellow cards, two red cards, two other red cards were rescinded after the video replay and two Ecuadorian penalties were also cleared on replay.

The draw allowed Brazil to continue unbeaten at the top of the South American qualifying group, while Ecuador grabbed another valuable point as it looked to secure a third automatic ticket to the Qatar 2022 World Cup. A stop for La Tri seems to be all but certain with a seven-point lead and only three games left.

The first five minutes were a sign of what was to come as Ecuador’s Enner Valencia missed a clear look in front of goal and Brazil’s Casemiro found the scoring shortly after after clearing a string of chaos. In a difficult match, Ecuador found the equalizer thanks to a corner headed by midfielder Felix Torres. 15 minutes left.

Aside from those scoring situations, Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan and his VAR were the busiest people on the pitch.

Roldan showed red cards to both goalkeepers in the first 20 minutes. While the first goal was justified after Alexander Dominguez of Ecuador threw a nail in Matheus Cunha’s neck, the one shown to Alisson was abandoned as there was nowhere he could physically put his foot. track after he cleared the ball outside the box.

Alisson was then shown another red card in second-half stoppage time for a second yellow card after he punched the ball and headed the opponent inside the box. However, the referee came to watch and found that the Liverpool goalkeeper let the ball touch his hand first and so he withdrew the red card and the penalty.

Ecuador will have to weigh in on the 55th minute penalty that was taken after VAR intervention. Brazil’s Raphinha appears to have made contact with Pervis Estupinan, who performed a dribble in the Brazilian penalty area. But despite the connection, the referee felt it was still not enough to blow the penalty after rewatching. But Ecuador’s anger over the incident will be tempered as it moves closer to joining Brazil and Argentina in Qatar in November.

(All Eastern Ages)

Finals: Ecuador 1, Brazil 1

97th minute.: Another angle shows Alisson punching the ball first. And the final decision of the referee: no penalty! Alisson was saved twice by VAR!

95th minute: But Alisson did not leave the field. After he escaped a red card in the first half, he is campaigning for the referee to review it on the screen. And Colombian officials do. Alisson came out to punch the ball and he did it at the same time Ayrton Preciado was heading the ball. Did Alisson get the ball first? Is it a foul? Big decision for the referee.

92nd minute: Penalty for Ecuador! Brazil goalkeeper Alisson was fouled and received a second yellow card and he retired. But Brazil has no more subscribers. What a wild ending!

90th minute: Five minutes of extra time.

85th minute: Just as Ecuador brought in two new strikers (Michael Carcelen and Jhegson Mendez), it was Gabigol of Brazil who got hit and the Ecuadorian goalkeeper had to punch the ball away.

78th minute: SUBS & YELLOW – Moises Caicedo of Ecuador is shown the yellow card. And Gabigol came on for Matheus Cunha. The entire Brazilian three-man striker line has been swapped. Tite wants to win.

75th minute: Goals for Ecuador! Of course it’s midfielder Felix Torres. In the corner of the right by-line, Torres headed home the goal.

71st minute .: YELLOW – Ecuador captain Enner Valencia was included in the list for stepping on Dani Alves. Brazil is currently in control. Ecuador just gets a rare moment here and there. La Tri cannot generate any sustained pressure. It’s Brazil after all.

67th minute: SUBS – Ecuador’s turn. Ayrton Preciado and Romario Caicedo replace Carlos Gruezo and Angelo Preciado.

63 minutes: SUBS – Vinicius Jr. and Raphinha gave way to Antony and Gabriel Jesus.

57th minute.: It looked like an obvious penalty, but the referee looked at it on the screen and decided not to give it! It’s not clear what error the VAR signaled in that case. The grounds for rescinding the penalty are unknown. This game sucks.

55th minute: Penalty for Ecuador! Brazil’s Raphinha scored Ecuador’s left-back Estupinan, who dribbled inside the box. It was a stone cold punishment.

54th minute.: Ecuador wanted to put the ball in the net and Alisson of Brazil caught it. Gonzalo Plata shoots a free kick into the box, but his teammate Michael Estrada can’t find the net of Alisson.

50th minute: Brazil’s Casemiro had a great chance on set and his volley missed the post. He couldn’t reach his goal. He had a goal for the day.

49th minute: Ecuador scores, but that’s not allowed! The assistant referee flags that the ball has crossed the goal line before the pass comes in from the left flank. This will be an entertaining inning.

46th minute: The second half was underway and Ecuador was awarded a corner kick in the opening seconds. But Pervis Estupinan slipped while taking the corner and the ball went out. Promising start.

Half 1: Ecuador 0, Brazil 1

Half time: It’s the wild first half. First Ecuador had a good chance in the first two minutes, then Brazil attacked messily and reflected this game. Then we saw three red cards (one cancelled), five yellow cards (all for Brazil), 10 minutes of injury time and two karate kicks from each goalkeeper.

52 minutes or more: Ecuador centre-back Felix Torres has a shot from long range that Alisson can save. And at the other end, Matheus Cunha has a shot wide from the left post. Brazil is closer than a second there.

48 minutes or more.: YELLOW – And another card for Brazil’s Eder Militao for a foul on Moises Caicedo. Ecuador with another piece in the box, it led to a corner, but nothing happened. Ecuador has not played so effectively so far.

46th minute or more.: There was 10 minutes of injury time in the first half. It tells you what kind of first half we had. Stop start, two VAR instances and lots of cards.

42nd minute: GOLD – More cards than chance in this game. Brazil’s Raphinha is booked for stopping a promising attack. And Ecuador’s Enner Valencia had another free header in the area, but the ball was behind him and he was also offside.

39th minute: Gonzalo Plata went down in the Brazilian penalty area after a challenge by Selecao left-back Alex Sandro and it was the touchline. He let me go a little too easily, but it was close. There is no penalty for the referee.

33rd minute: SUB – Brazil put Dani Alves at right-back and he replaced Philippe Coutinho. This is the 120th cap for Alves.

31st minute: Common sense prevails after VAR. The Colombian umpire, Wilmar Roldan, checked it on the screen and gave Alisson a yellow card and canceled the red card shown earlier.

26th minute: A third red card! Alisson is out now. The Liverpool keeper starts his pass, kicks the ball away and then hits Enner Valencia shortly after. This seems harsh. Brazil reduced to 9 people. Wild start.

20th minute: The referee just drew another red card! The goal went to Brazil defender Emerson after a rough tackle – high between the legs of Ecuadorian striker Michael Estrada. It’s Emerson’s second yellow. He received his first yellow jersey in the first minute of the match.

18th minute: SUB – Ecuador brought in Hernan Galindez and took off a midfielder (Alan Franco). And Coutinho’s free kick goes over the crossbar.

15th minute.: It was a disastrous start for Ecuador and Dominguez took on the responsibility here. His studs entered Matheus Cunha’s neck and left a mark.

13th minute: What is Dominguez doing! After that lousy play in front of Brazil goal, the Ecuador keeper darted off the field and karate kicked Matheus Cunha in the face with a challenge that sent his nail slamming into Cunha’s chest. Dominguez could be sent off. The referee is looking at the screen.

12th minute: Brazil’s goal sucks the life out of the crowded stadium audience. Ecuador has to show some personality to get back to this. Another Brazilian goal could really end the game.

5th minute: Goals for Brazil! On the other side, the visitors conceded a corner and, after a few shots, Casemiro recovered from a Matheus Cunha header. Ecuador goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez failed to control his penalty well in that case, starting with a feeble punch.

Second minute: What an opportunity for Ecuador! After starting, Ecuador conceded a free kick on the left wing and under control Enner Valencia headed home from the free kick and missed the target. He is completely unmarked.

4:01 pm: Coutinho was back to stardom in the Premier League for the first time and now he’s back in Brazil. What a change.

4:00 pm: Casa Blanca is half gone today, but still buzzing:

3:13 pm: A little taste of Quito and the appearance of the home team in the match:
