Brazil sub: IN- Dani Alves OUT- Militao
Raphinha shoots at the near-post by getting past his marker inside the box but it is saved well by Kim.
The incessant pressing by Brazil has definitely stopped, considering players will want to remain relatively fresh but the Selecao still look dangerous everytime they go on an attacking move.
Raphinha’s freekick takes a deflection off the Korean wall and goes out for a corner.
Korea had a chance to break on the counter through Son but he is stopped in his tracks.

Five minutes added at the end of the first-half!!
Another counter-attack by Brazil and for a moment it seemed like Brazil would score its fifth. Raphinha slips a deft pass to Paqueta who shoots at the near-post but sees his shot saved.
Booking: Jung Wooyoung sees a yellow for his mistimed challenge on Raphinha.
Marquinhos clashes with Son and the latter has come off worse in the coming together. For a moment, it looked like he has hurt his face but it is nothing serious. He readjusts his mask and continues with play.
Hwang feels he was brought down inside the box and asks for a penalty but gets no sympathy from the referee.
GOOOALLL!!! BRAZIL WITH ITS FOURTH!! LUCAS PAQUETA JOINS THE PARTY!! Brazil with another brilliant counter-attack. Vinicius has acres of green space ahead of him to make a darting run down the left. He lobs the ball in the centre of the box and Paqueta lashes the ball inside the net with a first-time finish.
Shot- Brazil believes anything will go in for them right now and why not? Casemiro takes a first-time shot from outside the box but cannot keep his effort on target.
GOOOALLL!! BRAZIL GETS ITS THIRD GOAL!! RICHARLISON SCORES!! Brazil is blowing away South Korea and has almost killed the game off in the first-half. It is a brilliant team goal by Brazil. Thiago Silva threads a superb pass to split the Korean defence open. Richarlison times his run well, gets the ball and puts the ball inside the net. Richarlison started the attack himself, by keeping the ball under pressure.
Vinicius Jr causing trouble again on the left flank. He tries to cut inside and penetrate the Korean defence but is crowded out and loses possession.
Militao finds Vinicius with a brilliant diagonal. Vinicius passes the ball to Casemiro who swings a cross inside the box. But Kim Seung-gyu comes out and punches the ball away.
South Korea tries to build up an attack patiently but Brazil’s defence is too compact. Kim Jin-su tries to cross the ball inside the box from the left but is pressured into playing the ball out.
Save: Hwang lines up a shot from distance which forces a brilliant save from Alisson. He caught the shot really well and the ball was creeping under the top-right corner
A warm moment is shared between Neymar and Alex Telles as the former goes and hugs the latter. Telles was recently ruled out of the World Cup through injury.

GOOOALLL!!! BRAZIL TAKES THE LEAD!! VINICIUS JR SCORES!! Raphinha does well to keep the ball on the right flank. He then finds Vinicius at the far-post who had ample time and space to stroke the ball into the net.
Richarlison and Neymar tries to pierce the Korean defence by playing a one-two near Korea’s penalty area but the Korean defence is alert enough to intercept the ball.

Match preview
Brazil making it to the knockout rounds of a World Cup is no surprise. A loss to Cameroon in its last group game didn’t stop the Selecao from making it past the group stage for the ninth consecutive edition.
The Brazilian journalists, however, are not too pleased with Tite’s “lack of respect for the tournament and other teams” in fielding nine new starters in that game.
That fringe Brazil side created many chances, but the goal was missing as those auditioning for a starting role gave a masterclass in wastefulness. Brazil doctor Rodrigo Lasmar has worked the hardest in Qatar as the team continues to worry about fitness of Neymar. The good doctor, however, has indicated that Neymar might be fit to play, recovering well enough from the ankle injury that he had suffered in the first game. Tite, was more forthcoming, vehemently saying “yes” when asked if Neymar will play during his pre-match press conference.
However, the Brazilians will miss Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles as both men are out of the tournament with knee problems. While Richarlison, already the scorer of a wonder goal, will be leading the attack, Telles’ withdrawal and the recurrent hip problem of Alex Sandro might cause a problem for Tite for the left-back position. But the philosophical Brazilian manager has always asked us to focus on all his 26 and not individual players. “Brazil has 26 great athletes. We do not call them starting players or reserves. They are all players.” he had said.
South Korea, too, has been plagued by injuries. Tottenham’s Son Heung-min miraculously recovered from a facial fracture to play in Qatar with a Zorro face mask, and Hwang Hee-chan, whose goal took Korea through, has also struggled with a hamstring strain.
Brazil was last knocked out in the Round of 16 by a Claudio Caniggia strike in 1990, and the Taegeuk Warriors’ last progress beyond this round came in the 2002 World Cup on home soil. But history has never mattered in a World Cup, more so in this one in Qatar.
