Right, so we have only two more Round-of-16 clashes to go before the quarterfinals! We'll be back tomorrow with more live coverage on Sportskeeda. Until then, this is Aditya Hosangadi signing off. Cheers, and have a good night!

And that's that from Stadium 974. One of the most one-sided knock-out clashes at the 2022 World Cup comes to an end, with Brazil comfortably getting the better of South Korea. The Asian giants were no match fpr their South American counterpars and were done in by two early goals.

Full-time: Brazil 4-1 South Korea

Four minutes of stoppage-time..

89 Dani Alves with a spectacular attempt! Great work by Martinelli down the left, and he crosses it to Alves. The right-back volleys his shot but it's blocked by South Korea.

81' Changes for both teams:
Brazil - Alisson and Neymar come off for Weverton and Rodrygo
South Korea - Cho comes off for Hwang

A brilliant volley is what it takes to beat Allison tonight. South Korea have worked their socks off in the second half and are finally rewarded for their efforts.

77' They pull one back! 4-1!

72' Brazil make a double change, with Gleison Bremer and Gabriel Martinelli replacing Vinicius Junior and Danilo.

68' How have South Korea not scored?! Alisson makes a brilliant save, and Son inexplicably gets his shot blocked by Brazil's defence from close range.

65' A substitution for South Korea, with Hwang off for Paik.

63' Brazil make their first change, with veteran Dani Alves coming on for Eder Militao.

62' Neymar with great vision to play in Raphinha, who takes a shot from a tight angle. Kim Seung-gyu steps up to make another impressive save.

58' Raphinha takes the free-kick, and it comes off the wall. Brazil play the corner short, but are pushed back by South Korea.

56' Neymar finds space in the final third and is fouled. Free-kick for Brazil within shooting range.

54' Good save! Brazil are looking for their fifth, and Raphinha nearly gets it with a left-footed effort. The keeper dives low to his right to make the stop.

48' Brazil clear their lines from the corner, and the subsequent long ball is too heavy for Son to keep in play.

47' Son with a great chance, but he misses! A ball over the top, and the Spurs man gets the better of Marquinhos. Alisson seems to have got a touch, corner for South Korea.

The second half is underway!
Brazil kick things off, attacking from right to left.

Brazil a class above most teams at this World Cup. Them and France are deadly in attack.

If you’re not up for it, Brazil will not only outplay you, but push you to mental extremes, taunt and torture you. They’ll swing and dance, the rhythm becomes overwhelming, creating a feeling of saudade.

Brazil have truly ARRIVED at this World Cup!

South Korea have been no match for Brazil tonight. Vinicius and Neymar inflicted early blows on the Asian giants, before Richarlison and Paqueta piled on the misery. Brazil are currently coasting to victory and enjoying themselves in the process. This could turn into a goalfest. Back in a few minutes with the second half.

Half-time: Brazil 4-0 South Korea

45+4' Well worked by South Korea, and nearly draws an error from Paqueta! Brazil clear their lines and look to mount a counter.

Five minutes of time added to the first half.

44' Yellow Card for Jung Woo-young for a late tackle on Raphinha.

43' Brazil coasting in first gear at the moment. It's been far too comfortable for them, and South Korea have rarely threatened.

Brazil are running away with this now. Vinicius is given that extra second on the flank to place his cross and finds the far post. Paqueta is running in and hits his volley perfectly to guide it into the far corner.

36' 4-0! Lucas Paqueta!

34' Casemiro! A shot from range, but it's wide. Some good exchanges between Paqueta and Raphinha in the build-up to that shot.

32' Great run from Hwang Hee-chan! Sits Eder Militaon on the turf before threatening Alisson's goal. The angle is far too tight, however, and his shot is blocked.

That's surely one for the highlight reels, a goal of the tournament contender. Richarlison juggles at the edge of the area before linking up with Marquinhos and Casemiro, who complete brilliant one-touches passes to send the Spurs man through on goal. Effervescent from the South Americans!

29' OH, THAT IS SUBLIME! 3-0!

26' South Korea have improved after the opening exchanges but Brazil still look threatening. Neymar nearly bursts through the middle of the pitch before the Koreans intervene.

17' Excellent save from Allison! Hwang Hee-chan takes a shot from distance and it's on target, but Alisson gets a glove to it. Brazil clear their lines from the corner.

15' South Korea enjoy a brief spell of possession before a poor unforced error hands the ball back to Brazil.

Cool as you like from Neymar. A trademark stutter to start with, and calmly slots his penalty in the bottom corner with the goalkeeper rooted to the spot. South Korea will need a miracle now..

13' NEYMAR SCORES! 2-0!

Richarlison did get to the ball first, and got his feet taken out from under him. Neymar steps up to take the kick..

11' Penalty given! VAR will have a look at this..

10' Brazil work their set-piece with a training routine, but South Korea read their intentions and clear. The Selecao are dominating at the moment.

That goal was all Raphinha. A neat elastico to beat his midfield marker, and then comfortably outpaces his defender to pick out a cross. Finds Vinicius in acres of space in the box, and the winger takes his time and places his shot brilliantly. The Samba boys have arrived!

7' GOAL BRAZIL!!! VINICIUS, 1-0!

3' Brazil push forward for the first time! Vinicius finds Neymar in the middle and the PSG man looks to tee up Richarlison, but South Korea intercept his pass.

1' A marginal offside! Good linkup play from South Korea, but Cho is only a fraction of a second off on his positional play.

KICK-OFF!
South Korea get things underway, attacking from right to left.

Right, so we move to Stadium 974, where the players have stepped on to the field. Time for the anthems!

Equipe confirmada! 💪🇧🇷

Com os retornos de Neymar Jr e Danilo, a Seleção Brasileira está escalada para a partida das oitavas de final da Copa do Mundo FIFA Qatar 2022.

Massive news coming in from Stadium 974 - Neymar is back! The Brazilian talisman sustained a nasty ankle injury against Serbia in their first group game but seems to have recovered in time for the knock-outs. The Selecao are now playing their preferred XI and look incredibly well-rounded on paper.

Brazil XI (4-2-3-1):
Alisson Becker; Eder Militao, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Danilo; Casemiro, Lucas Paqueta; Neymar, Raphinha, Vinicius Junior; Richarlison

South Korea XI (4-2-3-1):
Kim Seung-gyu; Kim Jin-su, Kim Young-gwon, Kim Min-jae, Kim Moon-hwan; Jung Woo-young, Hwang In-beom; Lee Jae-sung, Hwang Hee-chan, Son Heung-min; Cho Gue-sung

Substitutes:

Brazil:
Fred, Weverton, Dani Alves, Fabinho, Bruno Guimaraes, Antony, Rodrygo, Everton RIbeiro, Ederson, Gleison Bremer, Pedro, Gabriel Martinelli

South Korea:
Yoon Jong-gyu, Paik Seung-ho, Song Bumkeun, Son Jun-ho, Hong Chul, Hwang Ui-jo, Na Sang-ho, Kwon Kyung-won, Lee Kang-in, Jo Hyeon-woo, Kwon Chang-hoon, Kim Tae-hwan, Cho Yu-min, Jeong Woo-yeong, Min-Kyu Song

The lineups are here!

While the group stages saw several upsets, we haven't witnessed similarly shocking results in the Round of 16 just as yet. Argentina, Netherlands, England, France, and Croatia have managed to reach the quarterfinals, and Brazil will be looking to join their fellow heavyweights in the next round.

South Korea have proven themselves on this stage with a victory against Portugal. Can they pull off another historic upset?

Hello, and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Round-of-16 clash between Brazil and South Korea! This is Aditya Hosangadi, your host for the evening, and we should be in for another exciting fixture at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

This game will also be the last to ever be played at Stadium 974 in Qatar. Brazil have a formidable squad at their disposal but will need to turn up in what could be a potentially tricky fixture.
