Leeds United's Raphinha stars as Brazil start international period with easy win

While Leeds United's season might be over, Raphinha's is still going.

The winger played 78 minutes for the Selecao in their June international friendly against South Korea, starting on the right-hand side of Brazil's front three.

A brace from Neymar, coupled with goals for Richarlison, Philippe Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus helped Brazil to a rampant 5-1 win.

While the 25-year-old did not manage to find the back of the net or pick up an assist, the Leeds star was close to getting on the score sheet shortly before being substituted, striking the post with a great effort from outside the area.
