Estevao: Chelsea wonderkid produces goalscoring masterclass as Brazil pound Korea
Estevao Willian has arrived on the international stage, following up his match-winning goal for Chelsea last weekend with a clinical brace for Brazil in their dominant 5-0 friendly victory over South Korea in Seoul.
While the match marked a significant milestone for home captain Son Heung-min, who set a new appearance record (137 caps) for the South Korea men's team, the evening belonged to Carlo Ancelotti's star-studded side, and particularly to their young winger Estevao.
Chelsea's Estevao scores brace for Brazil
.Just days after scoring a dramatic late winner for Chelsea, the 18-year-old opened the scoring for Brazil in the 13th minute, applying a close-range finish after an incisive through ball from Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimarães.
He proved his quality again soon after the break, scoring his second goal of the night just three minutes after Rodrygo had doubled Brazil's lead before halftime.

Estêvão and Rodrygo each netted a brace to quickly underline Brazil's overwhelming superiority.
Vinícius Júnior later added the fifth goal of the night, running nearly half the length of the pitch after a long ball from Manchester United's Matheus Cunha before finishing with trademark finesse.
Brazil's next game is against Japan in Tokyo, and Estevao will be eager to continue his excellent form.
