Rodrygo scored twice as Brazil crushed South Korea 5-0

Match result - Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Brazil’s key players achieved a very comfortable win on South Korea’s home ground in the friendly game.

The first half of the friendly between South Korea and Brazil in Seoul started energetically from the opening minutes. Both teams started actively, but Brazil quickly demonstrated their superior quality.

At the 13th minute, Rodrygo sprinted down the left wing and combined smoothly with Guimaraes, before the Newcastle midfielder delivered a precise through ball for Estevao to calmly finish and open the scoring.

After conceding, the home team tried to push forward, but all efforts were neutralized by Brazil’s solid midfield. Casemiro even scored at the 18th minute, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

In the following minutes, Brazil maintained control with a series of fast-paced combinations. Vinicius and Rodrygo constantly troubled both flanks, causing South Korea’s defense to falter repeatedly. At the 41st minute, Selecao showcased their class again with a perfectly coordinated passing move.

From a cross by Vinicius on the left, Casemiro cleverly laid the ball off to Rodrygo, who surged forward and fired a sharp shot to make it 2-0.

In the second half, Brazil continued to display overwhelming strength with quick and confident attacking play. Just two minutes after the restart, Estevao stole the ball from Kim Min-Jae and calmly slotted it into the bottom corner, extending Selecao’s lead to 3-0. Then, in the 49th minute, Rodrygo completed his brace with a precise left-footed finish after a clever pass from Vinicius, completely breaking South Korea’s resistance.

The home team desperately tried to fight back. Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-In attempted to organize attacks, but every move was easily stopped by the visitors’ defense. Their best chance was a long-range shot by Jin-Gyu Kim in the 65th minute, but goalkeeper Bento remained in control.

As South Korea pushed forward seeking a consolation goal, Brazil launched a swift counterattack. At the 77th minute, Vinicius demonstrated his speed and superior skill by running nearly half the pitch alone, beating defenders, and gently placing the ball past goalkeeper Jo, sealing a convincing 5-0 victory for coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

In four days (October 14), Brazil will travel to Japan for a friendly match against the Japanese national team.
