Heartwarming footage has emerged of Richarlison unable to hold back the tears when meeting with Brazilian legend Ronaldo after his side progressed to the quarter-finals of the World Cup following a 4-1 victory.

The pair met after the Tottenham Hotspur striker starred in a dazzling Brazil display last night that sent South Korea crashing out of the World Cup.

The Brazilian No 9 scored the third goal after his side came racing out of the blocks, quickly going 4-0 up at Stadium 974 in Doha before the half-time whistle came.

Although South Korea pulled a mere consolation goal back - courtesy of Paik Seung-ho - Ronaldo Nazario watched on alongside fellow legend Cafu as Brazil set a marker down as the side to beat to win this year's World Cup in Qatar.
