MADRID, 2 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Brazilian team thrashed South Korea this Thursday (1-5) in a friendly match played in Seoul, starring Neymar Junior, who scored two goals for the ‘canarinho’ team, which will have its next commitment -also in preparation- next Monday against Japan.
The team coached by Tite got off to a great start on their Asian tour in preparation for the World Cup in Qatar, which takes place later this year, and showed no mercy to the South Koreans at their first stop. At 7 minutes he was already winning with a great goal from Richarlison.
However, the hosts equalized through Hwang Ui-jo, but the Brazilian superiority was more than evident and it was only a matter of time before they dominated electronically again. Alex Sandro was key for Brazil to take the lead again thanks to two penalties, one in each half, which Neymar converted with excessive calm.
For their part, the substitutes Philippe Coutinho -who had replaced Neymar- and Gabriel Jesus finished the win for the ‘verdeamarelha’ team, which will remain in the region for a few days before facing Japan in Tokyo on Monday. The Japanese also played today a friendly against Paraguay with a 4-1 victory.
