Brazil secured first place in Group C and a spot in the World Cup last 32 with a dominant 3-0 victory over Scotland. Vinicius Junior continued his impressive form, scoring twice and bringing his tournament total to four goals. Matheus Cunha added a third goal for Brazil, while Neymar made his return to international play after a lengthy absence. Scotland’s defeat puts their chances of advancing to the knockout stage in serious jeopardy, continuing a history of early exits in major tournaments. Morocco finished second in the group, qualifying alongside Brazil, while Scotland now relies on being among the best third-placed teams to continue. Brazil will next play in Houston on June 29 against a runner-up from Group F. Vinicius Jr.’s performance marks the first time a Brazilian player has scored in every group game since 2002.
