Brazil Behind Ecuador in 'Ancelotti's Debut'...0-0 at-heart attack ends in the first half
The first shot came out slowly. Vinicius attempted a right footed shot from the left side of the box in the 22nd minute, but the goalkeeper saved it and escaped the crisis.
Ecuador also fought back. In the 25th minute of the first half, Caicedo gave up the pass to Yeboa. Yeboa then tried to shoot a left-footed mid-range shot from outside the box, but was disappointed by Alisson's good defense.
Both teams were disappointed in their decision-making power. Brazil had a corner kick in the 33rd minute of the first half, and Casemiro headed a cross from Vinicius, but it rose above the goal. Ecuador connected Estupignan's cross with Yeboja's head in the 38th minute of the first half, but it went off to the right side of the goal.
Ecuador took control of the situation afterwards. Brazil gave up the lead and sat down, while Ecuador targeted Brazil from the side. However, it did not lead to a threatening shot. One minute was given extra time in the first half, but no goal was scored. The first half ended in a 0-0 draw.
Attack revived but disappointed... Ancelotti's debut match was "0-0 draw."
Brazil hit the ground. Vinicius tried a cut-back cross in the 10th minute, after beating his defense with a personal ability from the left side of the box. The pass was connected at a moderate speed to Hisalisson, who was unable to hit the ball properly in the process of shooting.
Ancelotti made a difference. In the 19th minute of the second half, he tried to score by putting Martinelli and Cunha without Hishalisson and Esteban.
Ecuador also continued to increase its momentum. After Yebo-ah dribbled through a dense defense from outside the box in the 22nd minute of the second half, he attempted a bold mid-range shot. However, the ball headed in front of the goalkeeper.
Brazil produced a flashy scene. Vinicius, on the left side, gave away a cutback pass in the 30th minute of the second half. Jed Song spilled it tactfully, and Casemiro in the back connected with a direct shot. However, the ball headed in front of the goalkeeper. 스포츠토토
