Brazil overwhelmed South Korea with several textbook displays of Jogo Bonito, making it look ridiculously easy on their way to a 4-1 win in the World Cup round of 16.
Brazil had scored some nice goals at the World Cup and won two of three group games prior to Monday, but they hadn’t managed that all-encompassing performance they are capable of where they pump several highlight-reel goals past a helpless opponent.The Selecao overwhelmed Korea with several textbook displays of Jogo Bonito, making it look ridiculously easy on their way to a 4-0 halftime lead and an eventual 4-1 win.
Prior to Monday Brazil had scored just three goals and as mentioned, it also lost a group game: a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in the group-stage finale. That, along with Neymar’s injury in the group stage, gave the slightest hint of vulnerability for the five-time champions heading into the knockout round. But Neymar was back against Korea and, maybe not coincidentally, Brazil looked the opposite of vulnerable in his return.
Vinícius Júnior gave Brazil an early lead with a ridiculously composed finish after a cross from the right, before Neymar doubled the lead with a penalty minutes later.
