Now from the 2022 Qatar World Cup curtain is getting closer and closer, the World Cup qualifiers on all continents have also entered the final competition, among which in the South American World Preliminary Tournament, the leader Samba Legion Brazil has locked a place to advance to the World Cup early, and in the fifteenth round of group stage, Brazil team went to challenge Ecuador away, due to the victory or defeat of this game, there is not much practical significance for the Samba Army, they did not choose to play with all the main forces, And Ecuador, which is temporarily in third place in the standings, hopes to seize the opportunity to take all three points, so as to grasp the initiative to enter the World Cup, the two teams had a direct dialogue in last year's Copa America, the two sides shook hands 1-1, it can be seen that Ecuador is not a soft persimmon to be pinched, although the Brazilian team hid a number of main players in this battle, they still continued the excellent performance of the defensive end of the qualifier stage, and did not give Ecuador too many good offensive opportunities. And in the first half Casemiro scored in the chaotic battle, the second half Torres's goal helped the home team equalize, and finally the Samba Legion 1-1 Ecuador, compared to the result of the game, many very fierce fouls left a deeper impression on the fans, South American football was fierce, foul tricks fatal became the consensus of fans after the game!
Ecuador, which sits at its own highland home, is not conservative at all against the Samba Legion, in the first half their possession rate is higher, and they also play against the opponent on the field, but it has to be said that the Ecuadorian forward players are not very good in this game, and Brazil is the most defensive team in this South American World Preliminary Tournament, only 4 goals were conceded in the first thirteen games, and the Samba Legion also successfully locked the home team's offensive line in this game, so that Ecuador only had 2 shots in the whole game to hit the target.
The desireless Brazilian team's desire for victory in this game is not very high, and the whole game has only formed 5 shots that hit the target, but they are lucky, rewriting the score in the opening 6th minute, the team's side attack directly caused chaos in the Ecuadorian penalty area, Casemiro seized the opportunity, shoveled in front of the goal, which also allowed the Samba Legion to settle down and put more energy into the defensive end.
After the start of the second half, ecuador, which was behind, continued to strengthen its attack, and in the 48th minute Estrada received a pass from a teammate near the bottom line and passed it to Valencia, who pumped a hole through the goal guarded by Alisson, but from the replay, before Estrada received the ball, the ball was out of the bottom line, the referee also cancelled this goal, in the 55th minute, Estupinian was brought down by Rafinha in the Brazilian penalty area, the referee decisively blew the penalty, but under the protest of the Samba Players, The referee canceled the penalty blow after looking back at the VAR, Brazil escaped the disaster, ecuador finally equalized in the 74th minute, in the corner tactic, Torres flicked the goal through the goal of the Samba Legion, chasing the score to 1-1, and then neither side changed the score again, in injury time, Alisson pounced on the Ecuadorian attacking player, the referee cancelled the penalty again after reviewing the VAR after awarding the penalty, and two penalties in one game were cancelled. It also caused great dissatisfaction among the fans of the home team.
To be fair, this game was not exciting enough, but the fierce foul left a deep impression on the fans, in the 14th minute, when the Ecuadorian goalkeeper attacked, he directly raised his foot to kick Cunha's throat and was sent off with a red card, while in the 19th minute, Emerson directly raised his leg and kicked the key part between the legs of the Ecuadorian forward when defending, and was sent off with a second yellow card, and in the 25th minute, Alisson kicked the face of the Ecuadorian player when he broke the siege, although the referee showed a red card for the first time. But after looking back at VAR, it was changed to a yellow card, which is also after the game many fans said that the statement that south American football scored goals is untenable, under such a fierce foul threat, Messi and Neymar can also repeatedly contribute to Argentina is not easy!
