Who would have thought Brazil could score a quick goal in the first half and even, with a 4-0 first half win Brazil seemed to no longer have the passion to score another goal in the second half. In fact, with a big win in the first half, at least Brazil could still score another goal in the second half, because of course the mentality and/or focus of the South Korea players was no longer stable.
But yes, South Korea can still minimize defeat by having one goal, at least it's still good for them compared to not being able to score at all.
With this result, at least it can prove that the big teams will still have a bigger effort in this knockout round, but in the quarter-finals later, of course, it will be a more interesting match because all the big teams or favorite teams will face each other.
Also with these results, it is enough to make me confident to bet on today's match at least for the favorite teams will also win. Even though Morocco in the group phase looked good but at this moment or in this knockout stage I am sure that the favorite teams will get the results they deserve.
First of all I won't characterised it as a bad performance. The south Koreans weren't on same quality as their opponents. Only H M Son has the Brazilian quality to compete with them and one player can't do it.
They have been relying on team spirit and Brazil distablize that from first half.
Currently, Morocco performance is quite good and their struggle to reach the top 16 is considered very difficult. But in the end, they have to meet Spain and maybe they won't have too many chances to qualify. Even though Spain is currently filled with young players, in fact, they are able to play solidly. I am not discouraged even though I really want a little surprise from Morocco because I think the dark horse national team must have a good role in the World Cup.
Morocco have been excellent in this competition most especially Zyche and Sabiri. Spain first game was a convincing win but after that, I haven't been impressed with there performance. I am giving the Moroccans an edge in this game
