DOHA, Qatar — Brazil looked every bit like the tournament favorite as they danced and advanced to the quarterfinals with a 4-1 win over South Korea at 974 Stadium, knocking the last team from Asia out of the World Cup.
If there was any thought that South Korea could hang with Brazil, those thoughts faded almost immediately. Vinicius Junior got Brazil on the scoreboard just seven minutes into the game
When Neymar, returning from injury, scored a penalty six minutes later, it was lights out. Both Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta also scored first-half goals as Brazil returned to form.
