THE BIGGER PICTURE: Richarlison's strike against South Korea was his third of the tournament in Qatar, as the Canarinha all but booked their place in the quarter-finals before the half-time whistle in Doha.

WHAT NEXT FOR BRAZIL? Victory for Tite's side against South Korea will see them face 2018 finalists Croatia in the quarter-finals, after they scraped past Japan on penalties in Monday's earlier last-16 matchup.
