Brazilian Reds reach World Cup quarter-finals
Just as the scoreline suggests, Tite’s side dominated the game from start to finish.
Their opening goal would come inside the first 10 minutes, after Raphinha evaded his defender on the right wing, fizzing a ball into the box that found Vinicius Jr. in acres of space. The Real Madrid man took his time before finishing emphatically despite the presence of the onrushing Korean defenders.
Just moments later, Richarlison was brought down in the box and the referee made no hesitation in pointing to the spot. Neymar, who returned to the team following a spell on the sidelines through injury, stepped up and slotted the ball past Kim Seung-gyu to double Brazil’s lead.
