Brazil vs Ecuador: instead of a soccer match it looks like an episode of Cobra Kai

The Rodrigo Paz Delgado stadium was more than just a soccer match, it was an authentic episode of Cobra Kai in which criminal kicks and controversial expulsions were the order of the day in the match Brazil vs Ecuador.

It is not easy to face a team like Brazil, a power not only in the continent, but also in the world in terms of soccer, which gave no respite to the Ecuadorians and ended with a 1-0 advantage for Brazil in the first half. 

But the highlight of the match was not the goals, but the fouls that occurred. For example, shortly after Brazil's first goal was scored, the first foul of the match occurred. 

After Casemiro's early goal, goalkeeper Alexander Domínguez gave a criminal kick to Matheus Cunha at neck level, an action that led referee Wilmar Roldán to send him off, relying on the VAR.

But the action did not stop there as Emerson would be the next to go after a foul on Plata with a real karate kick, which made the duel to be played with 10 players per team. 

The match turned into a karate fight worthy of Cobra Kai would see one more ejection when Allison kicked Enner Valencia. 

In this way the Ecuadorians went to the half time losing but in this second half they will have to concentrate more on soccer and less on karate to be able to reverse the result they are facing.
