00:29And now,
00:29please remain standing for the national anthem of...
00:32And it may prove significant that while South Korea had to field their first team
00:36against Portugal on Friday, Brazil were able to play their second string against Cameroon.
00:49Three sides met in Seoul in June. Normally a friendly wouldn't be too much of a guide.
00:56Brazil won 5-1, but it's relevant because the majority of the players who started then do so again tonight.
01:06A contrast in styles in so many ways.
01:11Casemiro.
01:16Rafinha.
01:19Benicia Senor!
01:25That's just...
01:26That's just magic.
01:29Rafinha.
01:30Tremendous.
01:31He sucks.
01:33Quangen Bohem in.
01:34Lovely left-to-right movement.
01:36Keeps going.
01:37Cuts it back.
01:38And I'm going to be brutally honest here.
01:40But an initial reaction was he's got to hit that first time.
01:43Well, how wrong was I?
01:45He takes a touch.
01:46And just bends it.
01:48Plus Kim Sung-kyo.
01:50What a start.
01:51What a goal.
01:52Oh, you're quite right.
01:52Have a dance.
01:57Well, then their fans bring the carnival spirit with them.
02:02And with a goal like that.
02:04Junior.
02:07He's gave it.
02:08He's gave it.
02:09He tried to kick the ball and kick the man.
02:12And do you know something, John?
02:14They'll obviously have a look at it a bit.
02:15All that comes from is a long diagonal ball from a centre-back which forces an error.
02:23I think it's Kim Jong-un that comes out and heads it back to Vinicius Junior.
02:29With Chelsea can get down there.
02:37And Brazil through the cheekiest possible penalty.
02:42Lead by two.
02:44Yeah, that was amazing watching that actually, John.
02:46Because Ken Son-kyo was trying to play mind games with Neymar.
02:51In effect, there's only one winner.
02:54I wonder if we've got another dancer at the same again.
03:06All that frustration of having to sit out two games.
03:10With an ankle injury.
03:13Now back on the stage where he thrives and within one of Tele's all-time national scoring record.
03:19Yeah, it looks at that angle.
03:21He just catches his end state.
03:23Richarlison's end state.
03:31One of three men beaten there.
03:33Yeah.
03:33By Neymar.
03:37Richarlison.
03:42Richarlison again!
03:43Oh my goodness.
03:44What a goal!
03:46That's ridiculous.
03:49Eye-catching, intricate, impossible to defend against, and typically Brazilian.
03:57Oh, John.
03:58I mean, you could just see the whole play unfold.
04:01We're certain in the prime seats here.
04:03That was, that was majestic.
04:05It really was.
04:06Everything right up to the finish.
04:09Casemiro's ball, initially.
04:11As simple as it was with his left foot.
04:14Out to Pacatart and the right-hand side here started it.
04:18Make no mistake, it might look simple, but it was an excellent ball.
04:22And from there, everything just seemed to flow.
04:27That was brilliant.
04:29I really enjoyed it.
04:30Neymar.
04:32Vinicius Junior.
04:35Take it out!
04:40It's showtime!
04:53The only thing I can say, it wasn't just as good as the last one.
04:57It was only excellent.
05:02This is a three-out.
05:04I've got to say, even the, the finish, the composed finish, the voltage is,
05:08back across a goal, gives Kemp's in your, you're no chance at all.
05:15Yeah.
05:23Someone taking a while to pick himself up.
05:33Oh!
05:34Raphinha, Pacatart.
05:37Why does he not hit that with his right foot?
05:39Somebody will have to explain to me.
05:43He's got to hit it with his right foot!
05:46That's excellent!
05:48Vinicius, oh!
05:50Inches away from a goal for Raphinha.
05:52Yeah.
05:53I think he's got to go for that with his head.
06:00I need, I need, Roy.
06:04Richarlison.
06:04Oh!
06:05No one getting close to him.
06:09The centre-back's got to come across at the very least.
06:13And there's the whistle.
06:14And we have just witnessed the most eye-catching half of this World Cup so far.
06:19Brazil have come to play and to party.
06:22And they've done plenty of both.
06:24Champion with that abacus for the second half.
06:27Right under a position to vote with him.
06:30That's right back.
06:31Kevin Moon-Win's playing outside right this moment in.
06:34Chance here at the other end though.
06:37Big save.
06:39Very nearly run back for South Korea as Son made to Minroads.
06:43Yeah, he did.
06:44He probably should be scoring.
06:46Two minutes after the second half.
06:51Casemiro.
06:54Tremendous.
06:54He just lets it through over the classes but nervous.
06:57And here is Raphinha.
07:05That's excellent.
07:06He's got a switch again.
07:09Guitar.
07:10Raphinha.
07:11Twist.
07:12A turn!
07:13And a decent save.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Still in play.
07:17Vinicius Junior.
07:21Yeah, I think it may have been better and decently save.
07:25Kersang-Kyuk is down to some great hindsight, back on his arm.
07:32Free kick.
07:40She's on the cross there.
07:43And that's Rafinha that gets to take it.
07:45Via a deflection, it's a corner.
07:47Yeah, just comes off the wall.
07:57Neymar.
08:04Rafinha!
08:07Just too easy, isn't it?
08:10The break, the initial flip to Cachemiro.
08:20There's Cho. There's Whang.
08:23And Son.
08:25First time no, second time no.
08:27And there wasn't a third.
08:29And now the flag is up for offside.
08:31But Sheev again.
08:34What a heart-trigger sales he's had.
08:42Great delivery in.
08:44This is the same.
08:49Tech.
08:50Good strike, great goal!
08:54Very different in nature to the sort of goals that Brazil were firing in in the first half.
09:00But a special moment nonetheless.
09:02For the Korean fans.
09:07That's an excellent strike, it really is.
09:10Peck's in goal.
09:11Just takes a touch with his left foot.
09:14I was looking at Alisson, I don't know why he just hesitates and he's died.
09:19As he offside, I said I wanted to run, but I think it's a defensive header anyway.
09:24Lovely touch sets it up.
09:28Great angle of this.
09:29Beautiful touch just sets it up.
09:31Comes through.
09:32I think it takes a deflection doesn't it?
09:34Comes off.
09:38Is it Thiago Silva comes off?
09:40Keep penalty.
09:46The battles lie ahead.
09:56South Korea play themselves into bother and this is Rodrigo.
10:01He's got a wee one in the keeper hasn't he?
10:04Kim Seng-Gyo.
10:12Wang Hee-chan.
10:14Good take on the run.
10:16It was.
10:17He's just off balance ever so slightly.
10:19He takes it well.
10:22Wang Hee-chan is a good switch of play again.
10:25His touch is alright, but he's just off balance as he hits it.
10:28No.
10:31And that does it.
10:35A statement win.
10:38Brazil spent a glorious half hour, a blur of canary yellow.
10:43Showing the world what they're capable of.
10:46And that sending a bit of a shiver down the spines of all the other leading sides here.
10:51It was stunning.
10:53It was devastating.
10:55And even if South Korea were complicit, it was very Brazilian.
11:00What followed in the second half was more academic, efficient.
11:04Not a great...
