Brazil vs South Korea highlights, FIFA World Cup 2022: Neymar-starrer Brazil crush South Korea to enter quarter-finals

The best team in the world is heading to the quarter-final stage of the Qatar World Cup after a 4-1 win over South Korea. Vinicius Junior, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta were on target for Brazil as Tite's men have set a last-eight clash with Croatia. Brazil will meet Luka Modric-led Croatia in the quarter-finals of the Qatar World Cup at the Education City Stadium on Friday.

All over for South Korea as the Asian giants have bowed out of the FIFA World Cup 2022. Brazil have hammered South Korea 4-1 to enter the quarter-final stage of the Qatar World Cup. A massive win for the Selecao! 

Dani Alves with the spectacular! What an effort by the veteran defender. His acrobatic kick has been blocked by the defender. Another corner for Brazil as Selecao are still trying their best to extend the healthy 4-1 lead.  

A schoolboy error by South Korea goalkeeper as Richarlison gets the ball in the danger box. He sets up Rodrygo for a cross, but the shot is blocked by the South Korean defence. A corner for Brazil. 

Interesting change by Tite as Weverton, Brazil's third choice goalkeeper will play the final ten minutes of the game. Yes, goalkeeper Alisson is making way for the veteran stopper. Also, Neymar has been replaced by Rodrygo in the 81st minute of the game. 

GOAL! Out of nowhere, South Korea have fired its opening goal through Paik Seung-Ho, whose shot took a deflection and ended at the back of the net. Korea Republic 1 - Brazil 4 after 76 minutes. 

For the second time in its rich footballing history, Brazil have scored four goals in the opening half of a FIFA World Cup match. The record-time winners had first achieved the staggering feat against Mexico in 1954. Gabriel Martinelli has replaced Vinícius Júnior. Brazil 4 - 0 South Korea after 72 minutes. 

Dani Alves has joined Neymar and Co. as the veteran full-back has replaced Militao at right-back. South Korea's Seung-Ho Paik has replaced Hwang In-beom in the midfield. 

Surprise! Neymar gives his freekick to Raphinha. The Barca star fires one in and his left-footed strike has hit the wall. Corner for Brazil. The Selecao are dominating possession in the 2nd half. A massive lead means Brazil can make early changes in the remainder of the 2nd half. 

A brilliant piece of skill from Barcelona superstar Raphinha, who fires his left-footed shot on goal. A brilliant save by the keeper and the rebound shot earned Brazil another corner. South Korea have regained possession after the set-piece. 

We are underway in Qatar for the 2nd half. An early goal-scoring opportunity for Raphinha but his deflected shot is saved by the goalkeeper. On the counter, Son has earned a corner after his bid for South Korea's opener was thwarted by Alisson Becker - A super save by the Liverpool superstopper!

Here's how Neymar joined the party and extended Brazil's lead with a cheeky penalty in the first half. 

The comeback man for Brazil has become the third Brazilian player to score in three different campaigns of a FIFA World Cup. Neymar's special feat was earlier repeated by football legends Ronaldo and Pelé. The referee has blown his whistle for the first half. Brazil 4 - 0 South Korea at half-time in Qatar.  

Here's how Real Madrid superstar Vinicius opened the floodgates in the last 16 match between Brazil and South Korea in Qatar. Vinicius slotted home the opener for Brazil in the 7th minute of the game. 

Another one! 36 minutes in and we have the 4th goal of the match! Lucas Paqueta has glided home the fourth goal through an impressive cross from Vinicius. Brazil are busy making a mockery of South Korea's defence. We restart again with Brazil taking a mammoth 4-0 lead over South Korea. 

WOW! A Ronaldo-esque finish from Richarlison! The Selecao are on their way to celebrating the third goal. An outstanding team goal for Brazil. Smiles all around as Brazil take a 3-0 lead over the Asian giants. Richarlison started the move and after a brilliant one-two, the No.9 has smashed the third goal for Brazil in the 29th minute of the game.  

This is the second time that Brazil have scored twice inside the first 13 minutes of a World Cup game. The last time when Brazil opened the floodgates like this, the Men In Yellow ended up firing 5 goals against the opposition. Brazil had hammered Costa Rica at the time. 

An instant response from the Asian giants as Hwang Hee-chan's shot forced Allison to make a save. After South Korea's attempt on goal, Neymar and Vinicius have teamed up to launch a Brazil counter. Korea Republic have conceded two quick goals inside the first 15 minutes of the encounter. 

Cool as you like! Neymar has converted the penalty for Brazil after Richarlison was shot down by the Korea Republic defender inside the box. A brilliant penalty by Neymar, who moves in closer to smashing Pele's goal record for Brazil. South Korea 0 - Brazil 2 after 10 minutes. 

GOAL! Vinicius has scored the opener! A brilliant ball by Raphinha who eventually finds Vinicius after Neymar fails to make contact with the ball in the danger box. The Real Madrid star has slotted home the opener with a sublime strike. Brazil 1 - 0 South Korea after 8 minutes. 

Son Heung-min gets the ball on the left side but the star player has been robbed by the Men in Yellow. Brazil regained possession and the record-time champions have launched a counter! 

We are underway at Stadium 974. Brazil have made a bright start as Vinicius and Richarlison have linked up well in the opening minutes of the game.

Brazil have suffered a single defeat in its last 31 matches across all competitions when Neymar started for the Selecao. Brazil are also unbeaten in its last 11 such matches. Can Neymar extend Brazil's winning run? We are through with the national anthems and it's time for kick-off! 

Son Heung-min's South Korea outclassed Portugal in its final group game to enter the Round of 16 phase of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Korea Republic were upstaged by Ghana (3-2) in Group H. The Asian giants played out a goalless draw with Uruguay in its World Cup opener. However, South Korea secured four points and finished second in Group H to enter the Round of 16 phase of the Qatar World Cup. 

Brazil and Korea Republic faced each other in June when the Men in Yellow toured Asia. A dominant Brazil side hammered South Korea 5-1 at the time. “It’s going to be a totally different game to that friendly,” Daniel Alves told FIFA ahead of the Round of 16 game between Brazil and South Korea.
