Brazil defeated South Korea with a brace from Estevao of Chelsea.
Impressive victory for Brazil
According to The Sun: The young talent from Chelsea, Estevao, became the star of the samba show as Brazil defeated South Korea.
After his heroics in the match against Liverpool, the 18-year-old overshadowed Son Heung-min's big day in Seoul by scoring twice in a friendly match that Brazil won 5-0.
GettyThis game was impressive, and it seems that Estevao has already secured a place in the national team for the World Cup next year.
Brilliant career start for Estevao
After scoring the winning goal in the 95th minute at Stamford Bridge, Estevao netted again for Brazil less than 15 minutes after the game began.
Bruno Guimarães noticed Estevao's breakthrough and played him a perfect pass to score the first goal.
This brilliant assist from the Newcastle captain was impressive as he showed no signs of fatigue after his long journey to the Far East.
He and Joao Pedro were originally supposed to join Carlo Ancelotti's national team on Tuesday, but their flight from Amsterdam to Seoul was delayed by a day due to a broken window on the plane.
“Right now, I only feel joy. It was an incredible game, we played good football,” said Estevao.
Estevao's first goal spoiled Son's mood, who made his 137th international appearance in this match, thereby setting the record for the most games in the country's history.
Such a strong start from Brazil left the Korean players with no chance to stop the pressure: Casemiro assisted Rodrigo, who finished the attack perfectly.
Estevao scored his second goal right after halftime, taking the ball from Kim Min-jae and turning it into the net.

Rodrigo also scored twice after receiving a good pass from Vinícius and finished the attack.
Son was eventually substituted in the 61st minute, but his team continued to create chances as Vinícius successfully finished a counter-attack to score the fifth goal of the match.
