What about two huge controversies? Brazil international Alisson escaped two incredible disasters, twice walking on the edge of the red card was saved by VAR, video referee and referee on the bar?
The World Preliminary Round south American zone staged a fierce match, Ecuador after a 1-1 draw at home to Brazil, another key point, continue to rank third in the group. However, there were many controversial penalties in the game.
Interestingly, two of the more controversial penalties were related to Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson. In the first half, Alisson attacked too much to bring down the opponent (Picture 1), and the referee directly showed a red card, however, VAR objected, and the referee canceled the red card after watching the video and changed the yellow card.
The controversy arose again in stoppage time, with Alisson punching his opponent in the head with two punches (Picture 2) and the referee showing a yellow card and then pulling out a red card and awarding a penalty. VAR objected again, with the referee reviewing the video and cancelling the yellow card, red card and penalty award.
In addition, there were 2 red cards in this game, and Brazilian defender Emerson and Ecuadorian goalkeeper were both sent off in the first half (Figures 3 and 4), which was really hot! The most interesting thing is that VAR seems to be on the bar with the referee, is Alisson really no problem with these two attacks?
