World Cup 2022. Brazil qualified for the quarter-finals with a dance step. In the first match after dropping out of the group, South Korea gave no chance. She scored four goals before the break. One of them was scored by Neymar who was coming back from injury.
Brazil played for Pelé while watching the show in a hospital in Sao Paulo. In recent days, conflicting information has emerged about his state of health. On Saturday, the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper reported that the “king of football” was receiving palliative care after chemotherapy for colon cancer stopped working. Pelé himself responded by posting, “I’m strong, hopeful and normally on treatment.
It was a pure pleasure to watch this match. Although the Koreans bravely fought for the honorable goal, they only managed it in the 76th minute after an excellent long-range shot. Earlier, Son Heung-min lacked a clear position.
The best thing happened before the break. In the 36th minute, the Brazilians led until 4:0 and, basically, the fate of the match was already decided. The delighted coach Tite got carried away to play; He danced with the players after the third goal. “It’s disrespectful,” said Roy Keane, quoted by British media.
Brazil opened the scoring in the 7th minute when the ball was passed to Vinicius Junior. After a quarter of an hour, Neymar corrected after him, confusing the goalkeeper with a shot from the penalty spot. Undoubtedly, the best action turned out to be 3:0. It was started and finished by Richarlison, bouncing the ball off two rivals. Lucas Paqueta set the score in the 36th minute after a quick exit from his own half.
