Second Half: Ruthless Brazilian Attack
Immediately after the interval, Brazil continued their dominant display. Estevao capitalised on a misplaced pass from Kim Min-Jae in the 47th minute, coolly claiming his second goal. Rodrygo increased the margin further by completing a rapid sequence started by his Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Jr. Vini then capped off the evening with a goal of his own in the 77th minute, finishing another quick counter-attack to round out the 5-0 result.
