Neymar and Oscar scored either side of half-time to give Brazil a 2-0 win over South Korea in a friendly today.

Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup hosts ahead in the 44th minute.

Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Tottenham midfielder Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazil's lead.
