Brazil vs South Korea: how they got here

Despite the talent at Tite’s disposal, it’s hardly been a stroll for the Brazil team through the group games but they will hope to make a bigger statement here. Serbia put up a good fight early on in the opener before Richarlison stepped up and hit a brace. A single goal from Casemiro was enough to squeeze them past Switzerland before a B team was sent out for the 1-0 loss to Cameroon in the unimportant third game.

The South Koreans beat an already qualified Portugal to make it to this stage after losing out 3-2 in an entertaining second game against Ghana. Their opening day draw with Uruguay, and other results going their way ensured this meeting with Brazil.

Brazil vs South Korea: previous meetings

These two teams have never met in a competitive game so we can’t put any weight on historical clashes. That said, since the turn of the century, they have played each other four times, the South Americans winning on each occasion with an aggregate score of 13-3.

The last of those games came in June this year, where Brazil danced to a 5-1 victory.
