The Brazilians underlined just why they are favourites to lift a record-extending sixth World Cup title with a ruthless victory over South Korea at the Qatar World Cup.

An irrepressible, irresistible Brazil lit up the Qatari night sky on Monday with one of the performances of the World Cup to shred South Korea 4-1 and set up a quarterfinal clash with Croatia.

Richarlison of Brazil scores the thirth goal to make it 3-0 during the World Cup match between Brazil v Korea Republic at the Stadium 974 on 5 December, 2022 in Doha Qatar Thiago Silva of Brazil during the Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 Round of 16 match between Brazil and South Korea at Stadium 974 on 5 December, 2022 in Doha, Qatar. Raphinha sliced through the red wall — leaving several of its bricks flailing on the ground — and, when his cross eluded the closely-marked Neymar, Vinicius Jr was at the far post to gently lift the ball over scrambling defenders and the desperately reaching goalkeeper.If the Koreans were winded by that early blow, worse was to come.

Richarlison won the ball back in an aerial duel, juggled it on his head and foot before laying off and, in an astonishing move which scythed the Koreans to shreds, ran onto an incisive pass from captain Thiago Silva to easily beat the goalkeeper. That Brazil went in only 4-0 up was as much to do with their profligacy as anything the Koreans could muster in terms of defence.
