Brazil delivered a strong Group C performance with a 3-0 win over Scotland, taking control early and finishing the match with confidence at Miami Stadium.
The match started perfectly for Brazil. Vinícius Júnior opened the scoring in the 7th minute, giving the Seleção an early 1-0 lead and forcing Scotland to chase the game almost from the beginning. Brazil looked comfortable in possession and dangerous every time they moved forward.
Scotland tried to stay organized and avoid more damage before half-time, but Brazil struck again deep into first-half stoppage time. Vinícius Júnior scored his second of the match at 45+3’, making it 2-0 and giving Brazil a strong advantage going into the break.
In the second half, Brazil continued to control the rhythm. Scotland made changes and tried to find a way back into the match, but Brazil’s quality in attack remained the difference.
Matheus Cunha added the third goal in the 60th minute, finishing off the contest and putting Brazil fully in control. With the score at 3-0, the match became more about management for Brazil, who made several substitutions and protected their lead.
Neymar Jr entered the match in the 76th minute, replacing Matheus Cunha, while Brazil also introduced Lucas Paquetá, Casemiro, Rayan and Douglas Santos during the second half. Scotland also made late changes, but they could not break through Brazil’s defence.
There were a few yellow cards late in the game, with Danilo booked in the 62nd minute, Fabinho in the 82nd, and Scotland’s Ryan Christie in the 89th. But the main story was Brazil’s control and attacking efficiency.
Vinícius Júnior was the standout player, scoring twice and setting the tone for a confident Brazilian victory. Matheus Cunha’s goal completed a professional performance that showed Brazil’s quality from the first whistle to full time.
For Scotland, it was a difficult night. They worked hard and made changes to refresh the team, but Brazil’s pace, movement and finishing were too much.
