For Brazil goalie Allison Becker, he really should be thanking his lucky stars right now. On Thursday in Ecuador, Becker was shown a red card not once, but twice in the meeting over in Quito.

The first time, a high boot hit Enner Valencia. He was shown a straight red, but VAR saved the day for him. You tell us, is this a red card or a yellow, which he was eventually shown?

Then in stoppage time in the second half, Becker was shown a second yellow for a questionable call on Aryton Preciado, which gave Ecuador a penalty. Once again, the ref went to review things via VAR and Becker was saved. Goodness, the drama.
