The forwards would prove too much for South Korea backline to handle.
And Brazil found the opener just in the 7th minute with Vinicius Jr sweeping the South Korea backline in the opposite direction before bagging the opener.

Yet again, South Korea backline was sliced open as Richarlison linked up brilliantly with Marquinhos to Thiago Silva and finally to Richarlison who slotted it past Kim Seung-gyu.
Vinicius Jr would then assist Lucas Paqueta who volleyed it first time for his first World Cup goal.
South Korea would find a consolation goal late in the second half.
