Gala against South Korea: Brazil celebrated in the social network

Brazil made it through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Monday evening. Thanks to a phenomenal first half, the Selecao defeated South Korea 4-1 - in the second 45 minutes the Tite squad was able to shift down a few gears.

Tore:1:0 Vini Jr. (7.) 2:0 Neymar (13th, Elfmeter) 3:0 Richardson (29th) 4:0 Paqueta (36th) 4:1 Paik (76th)

Brazil's performance in the first half was arguably the best showing by a team in the tournament. Almost everything worked out for Neymar, who had returned to the starting XI from an ankle injury, Vini Jr. and Co.; the game went smoothly, one goal was more beautiful than the other.

With a score of 4: 0, the fair was read after just over half an hour - by the way, the highest lead at the break in a World Cup knockout game since the legendary 7: 1 by Germany against Brazil. Only this time the Selecao was on the other side.

The Brazilians took it easy in the second half, allowing South Korea to score the consolation goal and create one or two more good chances. The Brazilian victory was never in jeopardy, however, especially as there was a feeling that the Selecao could rev up the engine at any time if necessary.

The enthusiasm about Brazil's performance was immense on social networks. If the South Americans can continue the performance of the first half in the further course of the tournament, the world title should hardly be taken away from them.
