Alisson waiting for Son Heung-min after Brazil's World Cup win says a lot about him

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson abandoned his celebrations to console Tottenham striker Son Heung-min after Brazil dumped South Korea out of the World Cup on Monday night.

South Korea booked a showdown with the five-time world champions after sealing qualification from Group H in dramatic circumstances at the expense of Ghana and Uruguay. However, Son and his teammates were swept aside in bruising fashion by Tite's side.

Brazil romped to a comprehensive 4-1 win after chalking up four strikes before the half-time interval. Goals from Vinicius Junior, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta were enough to seal a quarter-final spot. Paik Seung-ho did net a consolation for South Korea, but there was to be no second-half fightback from Paulo Bento's side, who exited the competition.
