In group play, Brazil topped Group G. Yet coach Tite’s side showed a pattern of peaks and troughs. They opened with a 2-0 win over Serbia, with Richarlison shining in the final half hour. Next came a 1-0 victory against Switzerland, courtesy of a goal from Casemiro. On the final matchday, they were defeated 1-0 by Cameroon, a result that underscored a broader truth about the Qatar tournament: no team managed to win all three group matches.
Neymar Returns
Ahead of the match against South Korea, Brazil received welcome news: Neymar Jr. is back. The star from Rio de Janeiro has recovered from an ankle injury in record time and will be available for the charge against the Asian team. Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles are doubtful at best, while Alex Sandro faces a real chance of missing the game. On the Korea side, Paulo Bento’s team carries potential concerns after a red card against Ghana; Hwang Hee-Chan and, in particular, Kim Min-jae, remain doubts, which could tilt the balance toward Brazil. Still, Heung-min Son remains the beacon for Korea, with Kang-in Lee and Gue-Sung Cho providing offensive support.
