Brazil 4-1 South Korea: Neymar back as Tite's Selecao slap

| sport

The boys from Brazil gave South Korea a right going over at 974

Brazil turned on the style to ram four past South Korea and ease into the World Cup quarter-finals, where they will play Croatia.

Neymar started and scored from the spot, the second goal for the Selecao after Vinicius Junior converted from Raphinha’s cross in the seventh minute.

Neymar is just one goal short of Pele’s record of 77 for his country, and Brazil paid tribute to their sick legend who is currently in hospital.

Richarlison netted the third brilliantly and Lucas Paqueta converted the fourth.

South Korea pulled one back through Park Seung-ho from 30 yards for a consolation at Stadium 974.

Brazil coach Tite even joined in the team dance after Richarlison’s strike, with his team looking in top shape as the business end of the tournament approaches.
