South Korea lost to Brazil 1-4 in the round of 16 at the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup at 974 Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on the 6th (Korea time).

 

In another round of 16 match, which began four hours before the match between South Korea and Brazil, Japan was unable to determine the match 1-1 in the 120 minutes of extra time with Croatia in the first and second half and was pushed to 1-3 in the penalty shootout.

 

Major foreign media have talked about Neymar's return from injury and Brazil's firepower.

The BBC said, "Brazil led 3-0 in the 29th minute of the first half. It was the fastest game in World Cup history that Brazil ran away by three goals, he said. "As Brazil added one goal in the first half, Brazil scored four goals in the first half for the second time in history after the 1954 Swiss tournament against Mexico."

Neymar, who missed the second and third group matches due to an ankle injury, returned to the round of 16 and scored a penalty kick in the 13th minute of the first half.

The BBC said, "Neymar scored three consecutive times following the 2014 Brazil and 2018 Russia tournaments. In Brazil, only Pele (1958, 1962, 1966, 1970) and Ronaldo (1998, 2002 and 2006) achieved this record.

Goalkeeper Alisson was also the star of Brazil's victory.

BBC said, "Brazil's offense will draw more attention, but goalkeeper Alisson also plays a big role. Alisson emphasized, "I blocked Korea's offensive well, including Hwang Hee-chan's shot (17 minutes in the first half)."

In the BBC rating set by fan vote, Vinicius Junior, who scored the first goal, scored the highest at 7.59. Alisson was second at 7.14.

In Korea, Son Heung-min received the highest support with 6.78, and Baek Seung-ho, who scored, scored the second-highest rating with 6.47.

"Brazil, who scored many goals in the first half, used a large number of substitutes in the second half and wrote the 'first World Cup record' in which 26 entries, including three goalkeepers, were played through three group matches and the round of 16," BBC said.
