Brazil starting 11

(4-2-3-1, right to left): 1. Alisson (GK) — 14. Militao, 3. Thiago Silva, 4. Marquinhos, 2. Danilo — 7. Paqueta, 5. Casemiro — 11. Raphinha, 21. Rodrygo, 20. Vinicius Jr. — 9. Richarlison

Injured: Alex Sandro, Alex Telles, Gabriel Jesus
Suspended: none
Beyond Jesus, Brazil were hit with more injury misery this week as Alex Telles was also ruled out of the remainder of the tournament.

Alex Sandro is still unavailable, too, though Neymar and Danilo are back, with the latter filling in as an emergency left-back.

South Korea starting 11

(4-2-3-1, right to left): 1. Kim Seung-gyu (GK) — 15. Kim Moon-hwan, 4. Kim Min-jae, 19. Kim Young-gwon, 3. Kim Jin-su — 5. Jung Woo-young, 6. Hwang In-beom — 11. Hwang Hee-chan, 10. Lee Jae-sung, 7. Son Heung-min — 9. Cho Gue-sung

Injured: none
Suspended: none
Hwang Hee-chan’s goal off the bench against Portugal earns him a starting berth in attack, while Kim Min-jae returns at centre-back.

  1. It honestly doesn't matter if the defender didn't see richarlison coming from behind, cause it's a foul AND it was inside the box. So if you go through the rule book of football, it's technically a penalty.

  2. This should have been a free kick awarded to South Korea, the Brazilian player "impedes an opponent with contact" which is a foul. Not to mention the challenge came from behind.

  3. Clear dive, defender didn't even see him coming and made contact with the ball first too. They didn't even var it just like with the blatant Ghana handball first goal in the Korea group match too. This ref was also biased against Korea the whole match in the Uruguay match as well

  4. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this was a wrong call. The South Korean Player clearly intended to clear the ball and Richarlison just jabbed his foot in front of him. The fact that Brazil even received a penalty seems ridiculous to me.

  5. The fact that they didn't even look at that PK and gifted it to them,
    SPEAKS VOLUMES.
    As if Brazil needs a gift PK against S.Korea. fifa WANTS Brazil in the Final. And they WANT them to win it. Specially with Pelé on his death bed

  6. If you guys noticed . No one website on Google talks about this penalty . And the only one webdsite tittle that looks like it would coment on the fake penalty is locked 🔒 🙄 🤬.
    The match was stolen. That penalty is huge mind fk to S.Korea.

  7. I never expected Korea to win but that stupid penalty decision is what killed the game. You can clearly see Korea being demoralized going 2 goals down that early and Brazil played much more freely.

  8. not a penalty the ref are amateur and the brazilian player are spécialize at feeking contact.I suspect verry big controversy in the final round to mutch pressure for this day and age average joe.

  9. Just an example of the official acting like the 11th player for the Brazilian team. Very obvious that it was a dive. This was no penalty just like the one awarded to Ronaldo was no penalty either. Its stuff like this that makes me hate the game and stop watching. Despite being raised on football, I didnt watch the last World Cup, was getting in to this one, but now Im done. The fix is in.

  10. Wow this is not American football wait you can't kick people in the leg in American football either.
    Anyways if the Korean had touched the ball and then kicked the Brazilian it was no penalty
    The problem is the Korean missed the ball totally and then kicked the Brazilian acting like you did not see him means nothing learn the game please.
    Brasil has a totally shitty defender named Bremer and is how Cameroon scored.
    Thank you.

  11. This is ridiculous! I have been playing soccer for over 30 years! & played semi-pro
    How the F! The defense can see what's behind him IMPOSSIBLE! H

  12. I'm Brazilian and I don't think that was a penalty. And I think the referee was actually protecting Neymar a bit, too. Anyway, they got a great team this year.

  13. Richarlison had his studs up and was on top of the defender's foot… it sld have been a foul the other way round. But he knew going in to make a fuss of it while the defender was clearly stunned and forgot to crumble to the ground.

  14. This is a proof that FIFA & refrees play together more than the players to ensure that cup stays only with Europe or South America. Penalty no doubt is ridiculous and deliberately awarded to demoralise the opposition.

    Brazil – very talented but no 1 cheat in the history of the game. May be thats how legends are made sometimes

  15. i mean, i get it – richarlison got hit after he touched the ball (if we would stick to just that, it should've been a penalty), however jung was allready in motion of kickin the ball while richarlison was behind him, richarlison rushes in, out of jung's sight, puts his foot in front of the ball that jung was about to kick and gets hit… based on those circumstances i honestly don't think it should've been a penatly…

  16. The World Cup is about watching the best players play from their respective country. At the same time, the referees are chosen because they're the best. This is such a terrible call that the referee should be reprimanded and fined. Players are benched for not playing well why shouldn't officials? Clearly the defender has control of the ball. The call should've been a free kick to the Korea and a yellow card to the Brazilian player for a dangerous play. I agree with other commentators that this negativley impacted the course of the game for South Korea.

  17. That penalty is the turning point Korea cannot fight back because referee is always in favour of Brazil that make Korea down otherwise they are a good challenger for Brazil even if it is clearly not a penalty but he have given it but for Korea even a penalty is not a penalty what a game there are no such team who can act like Brazil they should get. Reward for their fake acting Argentina France other team please look carefully about this fraud player
