Brazil cruised into the World Cup quarter-finals on Monday, producing a brilliant first-half performance to see off South Korea 4-1 and set up a last-eight clash with Croatia.

Vinicius Junior, Neymar, Richarlison, and Lucas Paqueta all scored before the interval for the five-time champions, while Paik Seung-ho netted a late consolation for South Korea.

Despite the unconquerable deficit, the South Koreans came out in the second half and showed a lot of fight. 

They opened the half on the attack and Son Heung-Min's early shot had to be turned away by Brazil's goalie Alisson. 

The Brazilian team also showed little signs of letting up. In the 55th minute, South Korean goalie Kim Seung-Gyu came up with a diving fingertip save to keep Brazil from getting the 5th goal.

South Korea finally got one back in the 76th minute. Paik Seung-ho smashed a screamer from outside the box that denied Brazil the clean sheet.

Silver medalist of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Croatia will face Brazil on December 9.
