Brazil fab four dazzlingly live up to favourites tag with Korea-ending first-half highlight reel

Brazil’s first-half masterclass swept South Korea aside and set up a quarter-final with the old men of Croatia.There were two big talking points in the end. Was Richarlison’s goal tonight better than that other brilliant goal he scored? And would Roy Keane and Graeme Souness find Brazil bringing on their third-choice goalkeeper more or less disrespectfulWe had to occupy ourselves with such frippery because other, more valid questions had long since been answered.

Brazil’s third goal, though, was the truly special one. The one that will join the pantheon of great Brazilian World Cup goals. That it came from a move instigated by and finished by Richarlison via Brazil’s two centre-backs only made it so much better. Neymar’s return had prompted Brazil to go all out, positioning him in the hole behind a brilliant front three of Vinicius, Richarlison and Raphinha. All of them were exceptional and ripped Korea to shreds. Raphinha didn’t make it to the scoresheet but did everything else short of it.
