Brazil were all over South Korea in their 5–0 win on October 10, 2025. The game, played in Seoul, showed just how sharp Carlo Ancelotti’s team can be when everything clicks. It was also another night where Estêvão Willian, the teenage forward from Chelsea, proved why people in Brazil are calling him their next big star.
Estêvão got Brazil going early with a cool finish after linking nicely with Bruno Guimarães. He later added another goal and set up one, looking confident and hungry throughout. His recent club form, including his late goal against Liverpool, seems to be rubbing off on the national team too. You could tell he’s adapting fast and enjoying every bit of it.
Rodrygo, who said recently that he always gives 100% for Real Madrid because he’s a team player, also had his say. The Real Madrid man scored twice, showing his usual sharp movement and finishing touch. His second came after a nice play with Vinícius Júnior, who later grabbed the fifth goal himself to round off a near-perfect display.
South Korea had the crowd on their side but struggled to match Brazil’s tempo or deal with their high press. A few half chances came and went, but Bento was steady when called on, and Éder Militão led the backline well.
It was a friendly, yes, but an important one. Brazil needed confidence, and this win gave them just that. You could feel the energy in the squad, young players like Estêvão stepping up, senior ones leading, and everyone looking like they believe again.
