The free kick, by the way, took a deflection. Corner to Brazil. 5, 2022, 3:17 p. ET James WagnerReporting from QatarWith this sort of talent in front of you, imagine being Brazil’s goal keeper. So far, Alisson has made four saves against South Korea. That’s four more than he had made in his two group stage games against Serbia and Switzerland combined. For context: the World Cup leader in saves? Poland’s Wojciech Szczesny, with 21! Dec. ET Ben Shpigel54′ Raphinha dangles and feints, slipping inside and out, before sliding a shot toward the far post. Somehow Kim Seung-gyu stretches out to nick it wide. 5, 2022, 3:14 p.
We need to grow. ”But for the remaining teams in this tournament, the scary thing about Brazil may not be the return of Neymar, but the emergence of so many sparkling talents around him. As a group, they will be looking to keep the dancing going deep into the tournament. Dec. 5, 2022, 3:54 p. m. ET Ben ShpigelFINAL: Brazil 4, South Korea 1. Brazil advances to its eighth consecutive World Cup quarterfinal, trouncing South Korea, 4-1, in a performance that reaffirmed the Seleção as World Cup favorites. Benefiting from a healthy Neymar, Brazil scored four goals within a 29-minute span of the first half, deflating the Taeguk Warriors before outright dismissing them. Up next is a quarterfinal Friday against Croatia, which, as runners-up in 2018, has advanced to the finals more recently than Brazil. ImageCredit... Carl Recine/ReutersDec.
5, 2022, 2:29 p. ET Ben Shpigel29′ GOAL! Sweet mercy, Brazil. Another goal, and this one from Richarlison was beeeeeeeautiful. 3-0. 5, 2022, 2:31 p. ET James WagnerReporting from QatarEven Brazilian Coach Tite got in on his team’s post-goal dancing from the sideline. 5, 2022, 2:27 p. ET Ben Shpigel26′ Not sure what Neymar was doing there. Leading the Brazilian buildup with pace, he took one too many — O.
K., about three too many — touches, and dribbled straight into a thicket of defenders. 5, 2022, 2:25 p. ET Ben Shpigel25′ Could it be? A... corner for South Korea, which has hardly controlled the ball in the Brazilian third. ET James WagnerReporting from QatarJust to illustrate the depth of this Brazilian team (and the French team is no slouch, either): Kylian Mbappé (five) has as many goals as Vinícius Júnior, Richarlison, Casemiro, and Neymar combined. 5, 2022, 2:24 p. ET Andrew KehReporting from Qatar21′ Hwang Hee-chan, the hero from South Korea’s final group stage game, is perhaps trying to do a little too much on his own to make something happen for his team.
The game for them must have been a harsh awakening so soon after the euphoria of their final group-stage game, when a stunning injury-time goal catapulted them into the knockout round. ImagePaik Seung-ho scored South Korea’s only goal. Kai Pfaffenbach/ReutersAgainst Brazil, they looked decidedly average. Their one goal was spectacular, drilled by Paik Seung-ho from well outside the penalty area in the 76th minute. But they struggled otherwise to gain any sort of a foothold against Brazil’s relentless quality. Their only other consolation — if it could be called that — was that they forced the Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson to make his first save of the entire tournament.
ET Ben Shpigel52′ If there are any Croatians reading — I’m looking at you, Bill Belichick — I mean no disrespect. But we could be tracking toward a semifinal with Brazil and the Argentina-Netherlands winner. Sign. Me. Up. 5, 2022, 3:05 p. ET Ben Shpigel47′ Terrific save by Alisson, who gets a hand on a strike by Son Heung-min. Alisson, I know this world is killing you. Oh, Alisson, my aim is true.

5, 2022, 2:50 p. ET James WagnerReporting from Qatar45′ + 4 Brazil’s front line has tormented the South Korea back line with its speed. Richarlison had a close-range chance there and missed it, and could have extended Brazil's lead. Pedro Nunes/ReutersDec. 5, 2022, 2:44 p. ET Andrew KehReporting from QatarGive some credit to the Korean fans here. They’re outnumbered in this stadium by a lot, but they have barely stopped singing and chanting, even as their team has been getting completely dismantled on the field. ET James WagnerReporting from QatarThis might not be a good game by definition, since there has been little tension or competition, but watching Brazil’s creative passing, killer instincts on finishes and post-goal dancing has surely been enjoyable to soccer fans (not from South Korea).
But it was not just Richarlison and Tite joyfully shuffling their feet on Monday. The Brazilians were dancing all night. ImageVinícius Júnior, Raphinha, Lucas Paquetá and Neymar celebrating a goal. They had a chance to try out several new routines. Manu Fernandez/Associated PressThere was Vinícius Júnior, leading three of his teammates in a coordinated jig near the left corner flag, after scoring Brazil’s first goal in the seventh minute. There was Neymar, taking a central role in an impromptu mosh pit after scoring the team’s second on a penalty in the 13th. There was Lucas Paquetá, tap dancing furiously by himself in the right corner, tearing up the grass with a sober look on his face, after slotting home the fourth in the 36th. It was, in all, a resounding return to form for the Brazilians, who lost their final group-stage match against Cameroon last week while rotating much of their roster. The only people who were not smiling on Monday, then, were the South Koreans.

I’ve counted two, maybe three, occasions in these first 20 or so minutes in which he’s dribbled straight into the foot of a Brazilian defender, when a simple pass might have been the better move. 5, 2022, 2:23 p. ET Ben ShpigelBoth teams played on Friday. Brazil sat nine regulars. South Korea, meantime, hasn’t had time to rest. Five of its players have played every minute. With South Korea needing to press now, it will be interesting to see how fresh the Taeguk Warriors are — and whether Brazil will feel comfortable enough to rest its own players in the second half. 5, 2022, 2:20 p. ET Ben Shpigel18′: Wonderful save there by Alisson, deflecting a bending shot by Hwang Hee-chan — the hero of South Korea’s match against Portugal — over the crossbar.

SerbiaThe Serbs arrived motivated in Qatar, and Dragan Stojković took the best players he currently had available to the World Cup. Tite wants Brazil to enter this game offensively and show its strength already in the first match at the World Cup and for Serbia to be the team against which they will let everyone know that they came for the gold. The Brazilian media state that Carioke will play very offensively against the Eagles and that Tite mostly played a formation in which he will have as many as four attackers, which the Serbs could punish with their deadly counters.
5, 2022, 2:37 p. ET James WagnerReporting from Qatar36′ GOAL! Again, for Brazil! It is up 4-0 now. The first half isn’t even over yet. Francois Nel/Getty ImagesDec. 5, 2022, 2:41 p. ET James WagnerReporting from QatarLucas Paqueta will get the credit for firing that shot home, but that was a tremendous chipped pass by Vinícius Júnior. 5, 2022, 2:36 p. ET Ben ShpigelRicharlison initiated the sequence by juggling the ball on his head, flicking to a teammate and then taking the return pass and curling it into the far post. Jogo bonito at its bonitoest.
5, 2022, 3:01 p. ET James WagnerReporting from QatarEntering this game, South Korea had five players who had played every minute (270) of their team’s games at this World Cup: Son Heung-min, Hwang In-beom, Kim Jin-su, Kim Moonhwan and Kim Seung-gyu. No Brazilian player, though, fits that criteria because the team had already secured a spot in the knockout stage before its final group play game. And with a 4-0 lead halfway through this round of 16 matchup, Brazil Coach Tite will presumably start bringing in his substitutes.
