We're under way in Seoul.
Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the friendly match between South Korea and Brazil at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
South Korea are gearing up their preparations for the World Cup later this year with a mammoth test against Brazil. They qualified for the competition with a flourish by finishing second in their group, only losing one game during the process which came against the United Arab Emirates in their last outing. Paulo Bento will be looking to test out his squad against one of the leading teams in the world in the bid to find form to take forward.
Brazil return to action for the first time since their suspended contest against Argentina after Brazilian health officials stormed the field. The outcome had no ramifications on qualification for the World Cup, but the Selecao will be looking to put the bizarre incident behind them in their preparations for the tournament. Tite's men had won their previous three matches by a 4-0 margin, including a dominant performance against Chile. The Selecao will be determined to keep up their clinical run today.
SOUTH KOREA SUBS: Jung Seung-hyun, Cho Gue-Sung, Jeong Woo-Yeong, Kim Dong-Jun, Kim Moon-Hwan, Na Sang-Ho, Kwon Chang-Hoon, Kim Tae-Hwan, Cho Yu-Min, Ko Seung-Beom, Um Won-Sang, Jo Hyeon-Woo.
BRAZIL (4-3-3): Weverton; Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Alex Sandro; Fred, Casemiro, Neymar; Raphinha, Richarlison, Lucas Paqueta.
BRAZIL SUBS: Alisson, Alex Telles, Guilherme Arana, Philippe Coutinho, Leo Ortiz, Fabinho, Gabriel Jesus, Bruno Guimaraes, Vinicius Junior, Matheus Cunha, Rodrygo.
Korea appear to opting for a 4-3-3 formation with Son, Hwang Hee-Chan and Hwang Ui-Jo leading the line, although Son could operate on the flank. Bento has made changes from his side's defeat to UAE last time out, primarily in the defence as Yong and Kyung-won come into the fold in the backline.
The teams are out on the pitch so we should be under way shortly.
SOUTH KOREA (4-3-3): Kim Seung-gyu; Lee Yong, Kwon Kyung-Won, Kim Young-Gwon, Hong Chul; Hwang In-Beom, Jung Woo-young, Paik Seung-Ho; Hwang Hee-chan, Hwang Ui-jo, Son Heung-min.
It has been an entertaining game in Seoul. Brazil should be further ahead, but Thiago Silva struck the bar, while others have been wasteful in the final third. South Korea do have a threat on the break, but they have been cut open with ease at times by the visitors. They're going to have to force the issue in the second half, which could leave them even more exposed.
Thanks for joining our commentary today. Until next time, goodbye.
Both teams are next in action on Sunday in further friendly matches. South Korea host Chile in Daejeon, while Brazil take on Japan in Tokyo.
