Brazil’s World Cup team has paid tribute to their country’s footballing legend Pele by dedicating their 4-1 victory over South Korea to the ailing 82-year-old who is receiving treatment for respiratory infection at a Sao Paulo hospital and is also undergoing treatment for colon cancer.
The Brazilian players unfurled a large banner featuring Pele’s name and a picture of him in his footballing prime following Monday’s match against South Korea at Stadium 974 in Doha, Qatar. Brazil won the match 4-1 and qualified for the tournament’s quarter-finals.
