Brazil vs South Korea Highlights, Fifa World Cup Round of 16

Vinicious Jr, Neymar, Richarlison and Paqueta scored as Brazil thrashed South Korea 4-1 to make the last 8 where they play Croatia. The only goal scored by South Korea came courtesy of Paik Seung Ho in the 76th minute. But even after that goal boost, the men in red could not really make the Brazillian defence work hard. 

With this win, the Canarinhos gave a threat to the rest of the teams that they mean business in Qatar and are the biggest contenders for the World Cup.

The Preview

After a dramatic entry into the Round of 16 courtesy of more goals scored than Uruguiya, South Korea would be looking to give a good account of themselves when they face their biggest opponent yet in Brazil.

The South American side have been brilliant throughout the tournament except for the last group game against Cameroon when the African side netted one through Vincent Abubakar to win a historic game. But with Neymar back, the Brazilians will be even more strong and would look to make a statement for other opponents in the World Cup that they are here for the trophy. 

In the end, it would come down to whether South Korea could hold this Brazillian attack filled with the likes of Neymar, Richarlison, Vincious Junior and Raphinha and Casemiro and then make a move or two to give their star striker Son the chance to win it for them.

What a left-footed rocket hit that is by Paik Seung Ho who has come in as a substitute to make his first-ever appearance in the Fifa World Cup 2022. The free kick was greatly taken by Korea, but it was hit out by Brazillian defenders. It came to Seung on the half volley and he made great use of that to get Korea’s first goal of the game.

It is not like the 0-1 trail that Korea was up against Portugal after the first half in their last game. It is a 0-4 difference and therefore Son and co would have to make the move and bring in at least one goal to build up the confidence for the next half an hour
