The referee for the Brazil game will be Clement Turpin, the referee he met in the first game against Uruguay.
I've experienced it once, but it's evaluated as being tolerant of physical fights.
This is reporter Lee Kyung-won.

Our players struggled against rough defense in the first match against Uruguay.
[Bae Seong-jae/SBS Caster: Na Sang-ho got caught, but the whistle didn't blow.] Even though
Kim Jin-soo was knocked over by an opponent's defender in the penalty box, the game continued.
[Bae Seong-jae/SBS Caster: Bentankur pushed from behind.
Oh, no.]
[Park Ji-seong/SBS commentator: It's unfortunate, it's salty.]
A rough fight ensued, but only one player received a yellow card, and Bento, who protested against this decision, received a yellow card.
Referee Clement Turpin, the referee against Uruguay, blows his whistle again in the round of 16 match against Brazil.
Referee Turpin, who plays in the French league, is a 16-year veteran who was selected as the best referee by the French Football Association in 2016.
He is regarded as a high-level referee, serving as the referee for the Europa League final last year and the European Champions League final last May.
In fact, the number of yellow cards taken out in the French league this season was 20, 16th among 21 referees, and 19th with only one red card.
As the referee is forgiving of physical fights, our players are expected to put heavy pressure on Brazil.
Along with referee Turpin, two referees on the field and a video referee are also playing against Brazil as they are against Uruguay.
