At this point, Chelsea supporters have ran out of superlatives to describe Thiago Silva. The 38-year-old continues to defy belief and he did so when Brazil met South Korea on Monday evening in the last-16 of the World Cup.
Seleção took an early lead in Qatar as Vinicius Jr. continued his fine form in the tournament with a seventh minute goal. The returning Neymar then doubled Brazil's advantage with a strike from the penalty spot before Tottenham's Richarlison made it 3-0 before the half hour-mark.
The Spurs striker finished well after a sublime first-time pass from Silva, who was near the edge of the box for Brazil. It was a wonderfully worked team goal and one of the most intelligent passes you are likely to see from Silva. We all know how good of a defender he is, but the Chelsea man will have shocked a few people with the vision and technique he showed to set Richarlison up.
