North Korea are the only Asian team to have scored 3 goals in a World Cup match – when they lost 5-3 to Portugal in 1966. That record remains intact. Two breathtaking goals help lowly Brazil squeeze past a spirited North Korea side. Indeed, Brazil have won all 15 of their World Cup matches against sides from outside Europe and South America, keeping 13 clean sheets in the process. Brazil completed 566 passes against North Korea, that’s 36 more than any other side so far in the 2010 World Cup (beating Germany’s 530).
