The crowd erupts in support as Brazil’s No. 10 steps onto the field, with fans eager to see what he can contribute at last on the tournament stage.

60’ BRAZIL EXTEND THEIR LEAD

Matheus Cunha had already made it 3–0 for Brazil, finishing a slick move orchestrated by Bruno Guimarães, who once again showed composure in midfield before setting up the Manchester United forward for a clinical strike.

A devastating counterpunch from Brazil just as Scotland were beginning to grow into the game.

Score: Scotland 0–3 Brazil

HALF-TIME

Brazil go into the break firmly in control, clearly superior to the European side, who have struggled to create any real danger in attack.

A standout first half from Vinícius Júnior, along with strong performances from Bruno Guimarães and Rayan, has set the tone for the Seleção.

Score: Scotland 0–2 Brazil

45’+3 GOAL FOR BRAZIL — VINÍCIUS JR. DOUBLES UP!

Vinícius Júnior finally gets his reward after having a goal disallowed earlier, and this time there’s no doubt about it.

In first-half stoppage time, the Brazilian forward rises at the back post and powers a header into the net, capitalizing on poor marking from Scotland’s defense.

A clinical finish and a deserved second goal for Vinícius, who continues to torment the Scottish back line.

Score: Scotland 0–2 Brazil

22’ GOAL DISALLOWED FOR BRAZIL — VINÍCIUS JR.

Vinícius Júnior thought he had his second of the night after finishing coolly past Angus Gunn at the far post.

The Real Madrid forward capitalized on a lapse from Jack Hendry, who was caught napping as Vinícius stole possession and slotted the ball into the net with precision.

However, referee César Arturo Ramos immediately ruled it out, signaling a foul in the buildup from the Brazilian attacker.

Brazil are denied a second goal — and it remains Scotland 0–1 Brazil.

7’ GOAL FOR BRAZIL — VINÍCIUS JUNIOR!

Vinícius Júnior fires Brazil ahead, scoring his third goal of the tournament and the fourth in his World Cup career.

The Real Madrid forward takes advantage of a brilliant setup from Rayan, who comes in for the injured Raphinha, after dispossessing the experienced Scott McKenna inside the penalty area as he attempted to clear.

A costly mistake from Scotland at the back, and Brazil make them pay immediately as they take an early lead.

Score: Scotland 0–1 Brazil
