Brazil Start Fast Against Scotland

Brazil made one change from their win over Haiti. Teenager Rayan started in place of the injured Raphinha. The 19-year-old quickly made a big impact.

In the 7th minute, Rayan pressed Scott McKenna and forced a mistake. The ball fell to Vinicius Junior, who had an easy finish into an empty net.

Therefore, Brazil took control very early. Scotland looked nervous, and their defense struggled with Brazil’s high press.

Vinicius Gets His Second Before Halftime

Brazil almost scored again in the 22nd minute. Vinicius stole the ball from Grant Hanley and found the net. However, VAR ruled the goal out for a foul.

After the cooling break, Scotland played a little better. They kept the ball more and tried to attack. However, they did not create enough danger.

Then, in first-half stoppage time, Brazil struck again. Rayan helped win the ball in the box. Bruno Guimaraes crossed well, and Vinicius headed home from close range.

Because of that goal, Brazil went into halftime with a 2-0 lead.

Scotland Push Forward, but Brazil Stay Calm

Scotland changed things after the break. Kieran Tierney came on for Andrew Robertson. As a result, Scotland attacked more down the left side.

Tierney sent several crosses into the box. Scott McTominay had chances with his head. However, Alisson stayed focused and kept Brazil’s clean sheet alive.

Although Scotland improved, they still lacked the final touch. Brazil, on the other hand, looked dangerous whenever they pressed high.

Cunha Makes It 3-0

In the 60th minute, Brazil scored their third goal. Bruno Guimaraes won the ball near the Scotland box. Then, he passed to Matheus Cunha, who finished into the near corner.

That goal ended Scotland’s hopes of a comeback. After that, Brazil slowed the game down but still created chances.

Vinicius had more chances to complete his hat-trick. However, Angus Gunn made some good saves in the second half.

With this result, Brazil reached the Round of 16 as Group C winners. Meanwhile, Scotland lost control of their own fate. Their goal difference is now a major problem.
