"The Selecao opened the scoring inside 14 minutes when Bruno Guimaraes threaded a precise pass into Estevao's path, the 18-year-old firing past Jo Hyeon-woo to make it 1-0. Casemiro had the ball in the net moments later but was ruled offside. However, Brazil soon doubled their lead, with Rodrygo arrowing a clinical finish into the bottom-right corner in the 41st minute."
"Data Debrief: Vinicius and Casemiro answer critics While Vinicius has been subject to criticism in recent times, he clearly did not let that impact his performance here, creating three chances, the most of any player on the pitch, as well as scoring a superb solo effort. Like his compatriot Vinicius, Casemiro has also been in receipt of reproval at club level, but his display here went some way to answering his critics."
Brazil routed South Korea 5-0 in Seoul with Estevao and Rodrygo each scoring twice and Vinicius Junior finishing a late counter to seal the result. Bruno Guimaraes provided the early assist for Estevao's opener, and an early Casemiro effort was ruled offside. Defensive errors from Min-jae Kim and other lapses allowed Brazil to extend their lead after the break. Vinicius created three chances and completed a superb solo goal, while Casemiro led the team in touches (117), passes (109), accurate passes (98) and possession won (8).
