Brazil puts on clinic with 4 goals in 1st half vs. South Korea

Joga Bonito is alive and well.

Brazil put on a show in the first half of Monday's last-16 match against South Korea, scoring four goals in the opening 36 minutes to take a 4-0 lead into the interval. Vinicius Junior, Neymar - from the penalty spot - Richarlison, and Lucas Paqueta found the net for Tite's team, which sliced through the Korean backline with frightening ease and flair.

Richarlison's tally, in particular, was a stunning team move that combined the one-touch passing and flamboyance synonymous with Brazilian football.

Brazil came flying out of the gate, with Vinicius setting the stage for the onslaught by opening the scoring in just the seventh minute. Neymar, in his return from an ankle injury that forced him to miss the team's last two games, rolled home a penalty six minutes later.

From there, the party was on.

Assuming Brazil doesn't squander its enormous advantage in the second half, it will meet Croatia in the World Cup quarterfinals.
