Vinícius turned one mistake into a rout
Played at Miami Stadium at 6:00 PM local time (6:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM PT), Brazil beat Scotland 3-0 and took top spot in Group C. 12
- 7': Scott McKenna's bad touch was punished immediately, with Vinícius Júnior sliding past Angus Gunn for 1-0. 3
- 45+3': Vinícius struck again at the end of the half, heading in Bruno Guimarães' cross after VAR had already wiped out an earlier second goal. 3
- 60': Guimarães split Scotland open again and Matheus Cunha drilled in the third at the near post. 3
Scotland's best response came late, but Alisson Becker denied Lewis Ferguson's free kick and twice stopped Scott McTominay, so the comeback never got close. 34
The numbers back the eye test: Brazil finished with 4.33 expected goals to Scotland's 1.04, 54 percent possession, and a 9-5 edge in shots on goal. 4
Brazil are into the Round of 32 as Group C winners; Scotland now need the other third-place results to break their way. 12
