Breathtaking Brazil demolish South Korea 4-1

Brazil score four first half goals to cruise past South Korea and into the World Cup 2022 quarter-finals.

Neymar Jr returned from injury to help Brazil thump South Korea 4-1, setting up a World Cup quarter-final clash against Croatia.

Four unanswered Brazilian goals in the first half on Monday set an imperious tone for a team with their sights firmly on a sixth World Cup title.

And while the game settled in the second period, it was never sluggish or scrappy, and a spirited South Korea fought hard to score a consolation goal in the 76th minute.

South Korea had their share of chances, but were outclassed in every part of the pitch.

Brazil will face Croatia in the quarter-finals at Education City on Friday.
