Brazil cruised into the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Monday evening, beating South Korea 4-1 at Stadium 974 in Qatar.
First-half goals from Vinicius Junior, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta fired the five-time World Cup winners into a commanding 4-0 lead by the interval, meaning their place in the last-eight was all but assured by the time both sides headed back to the dressing rooms at the midway stage. South Korea did pull a goal back after the break through a thunderous effort from Paik Seung-ho to reduce the deficit.
That, though, failed to take the shine off what was a brilliant Brazilian performance, meaning they will now face Croatia for a place in the semi-finals. The two sides will go toe-to-toe in the first quarter-final showdown on Friday afternoon.
