Vinicius shined with a double in the friendly match against Korea. |
At the Seoul World Cup, Vinicius Junior played brilliantly, in contrast to the image of Son Heung-min almost disappearing in the yellow shirt. Vinicius is the soul of Brazil's style of play. The Real Madrid star constantly stirred up the left wing, causing the Korean defense to falter. He scored 1 goal, had 2 more assists and created at least 3 other good chances.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min could barely make a difference. The Los Angeles FC striker was closely marked by Casemiro and Gabriel, only managing one dangerous shot before leaving the field in the 63rd minute. Although assured of a place in the 2026 World Cup, the heavy defeat showed the huge gap in skill between South Korea and the world's top teams.
From the very first minutes, Brazil showed their superiority. Estevao opened the scoring in the 13th minute after a combination with Bruno Guimaraes, starting the goal feast. Rodrygo doubled the gap with a skillful move in the penalty area.
After the break, Rodrygo set up Estevao and Vinicius to score. The final goal for the 5-0 score came in the 77th minute, when Vinicius' shot hit the Korean defender and flew into the net.
By destroying South Korea 5-0, Brazil had their biggest win under Ancelotti, sending a strong message that they are still the top candidate for the 2026 world title.
