Brazil 0-0 Ecuador: Honors even as Valencia has goal disallowed

Miler Bolaños scored for Ecuador but Copa America officials thought otherwise in Saturday's Group B match against Brazil.

Neither Brazil nor Ecuador could break the deadlock as their Copa America Centenario Group B fixture ended goalless in Pasadena.

After a lively start at the Rose Bowl, Saturday's match petered out to a 0-0 draw, though the storyline was a disallowed goal for Ecuador, which was unfortunate not to claim all three points.

Miler Bolaños' cross-turned-shot somehow found the back of the net from the byline after a howler from Brazil goalkeeper Alisson, but the ball was deemed to have gone out of play.
