Brazil delivered a powerful statement performance under Carlo Ancelotti, demolishing South Korea 5-0 in a rain-soaked friendly at Seoul.In fact, it was the side’s most convincing showing of the Ancelotti era, highlighting Brazil’s attacking power as preparations for the World Cup intensify. While the Seleção have officially qualified for the 2026 World Cup, their recent campaign was inconsistent, including a disappointing defeat to Bolivia in their final qualifier. Therefore, the emphatic win in the Korean capital comes as a welcome boost after a turbulent journey.Ancelotti’s team seized momentum early in the match. First, Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães sliced open the Korean backline to set up Estevão’s emphatic finish. Shortly after, Rodrygo doubled the lead before halftime.After the interval, Estevão capitalised on a defensive error for his second, and Rodrygo quickly made it four. Finally, Vinícius Júnior capped the display with a fifth late on, securing Brazil’s most complete performance yet under Ancelotti.Here is how the individual performances rated at Seoul World Cup Stadium.Brazil Player Ratings vs South KoreaGoalkeeper & DefenceBento (GK) – 6/10: The Al Nassr keeper had a quiet evening behind Brazil’s airtight defence.
