Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker had two red cards overturned by VAR reviews as Brazil hung on for a controversial 1-1 World Cup qualifier draw with Ecuador on Thursday, with both teams having a player dismissed.


Alisson could count himself lucky after a straight red card in the first half, for a high boot on Enner Valencia, was downgraded to a yellow and then a second yellow card in injury-time was also overturned on review. 


The point inches them closer to World Cup qualification with three games left. Brazil and Argentina have already booked their tickets for Qatar. Casemiro gave the visitors an early lead but Ecuador centre-back Felix Torres equalised 15 minutes from time.
