GOAL! Brazil 3-0 South Korea (Danilo)
What a hit this is, Lodi drags it back to the edge of the area and Danilo storms in.
His hit is powerful and clean, but Jo gets a good touch on it, he should save it too, but it ends up in the back of the net.
Drifted in from Coutinho, but Paqueta can’t get over the header.
Brazil still comfortable…
That free-kick really was something from Coutinho. Superb technique.
Son still trying to drag Korea back, his latest effort is miles over.
Good clean hit, but he has to control it better.
Richarlison sent in on goal.
But he runs out of pitch and flicks the ball behind for a goal kick.
He goes down, but doesn’t really appeal, nonetheless, he risked a yellow there for simulation.
Will Brazil make some changes?
Willian, Rodrygo and Firmino are all there and able to replace the front three.
What about a debut for Douglas Luiz or another game for Wesley?
Coutinho handed the ball by Jesus, who then darts around the outside of Kim.
Coutinho can’t find him with the return ball though.
Ambitious but it could have been sensational had it come off.
Alisson spills it after a deflection from Jung’s shot, Coutinho then hits the post while trying to put it behind for a corner – huge left-off for Brazil.
The Bayern star can afford to smile, but he was inches from scoring at both ends.
GOAL! Brazil 2-0 South Korea

A dead ball just on the left edge of the box and he whips it over the wall and past Jo into the top left corner.
