Brazil vs South Korea – The Brazil national soccer team posted a 4-1 victory over South Korea in the round of 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to book their place in the quarterfinals.
Brazil, among the favorites to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup title, dismantled South Korea during the first 36 minutes in which they scored four goals. The South American heavyweights had qualified to the round of 16 after finishing in the Group G points table with six points.
However, the five-time FIFA World Cup champions came into this meeting between Brazil and South Korea after an upset loss to Cameroon in their last group game at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Brazil had a great start in this meeting between Brazil and South Korea. Vinicius Jr put Brazil ahead after seven minutes of play. Raphinha sent the ball towards Neymar inside the South Korean area. However, Neymar was unable to direct the ball into the net as he only made light contact with the ball. Vinicius Jr, unmarked at the far post, received the ball and then sent it into the South Korean net.
