Brazil Blasts Scotland

     Brazil bashed Scotland 3-0 in a Group C contest at Miami Stadium on Wednesday night. Brazil clinched first place in Group C and moved on to the Round of 32 knockout round. 
     In the first half, Brazil struck early in the seventh minute for a 1-0 advantage. Scotland turned the ball over in their own penalty area. Vinicius Jr. got to the loose ball, moved around the goalkeeper and tapped the ball in with his right foot from eight yards away. 
     Brazil increased their lead to 2-0 during stoppage time at the end of the first half. They made a cross from the right side of the box and Vinicius Jr. placed in a header from three yards into the left side of the cage. It was his fourth goal of the 2026 World Cup and his sixth international goal scored on United States soil. 
     It became 3-0 for Brazil in the 60th minute of play. Matheus Cunha released a 10-yard shot with his right foot into the right side of the net. 
     Neymar Jr. came into the contest substituting for Cunha during the 76th minute. It was his first game for the Brazil national team since October 2023.
