Brazil put defeat to Argentina behind them with a comfortable 3-0 win over South Korea.

Lucas Paqueta impressed, with the AC Milan midfielder heading in the opener from a fine cross from Atletico Madrid’s Renan Lodi.

Philippe Coutinho’s stunning free-kick doubled the lead and then Lodi, who had a strong case for man of the match, set up the third, cutting back for Danilo to race in and thump home.

Tite gave a debut to Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz, while Real Madrid phenom Rodrygo also featured off the bench alongside Roberto Firmino.
