Brazil made it look routine. A 3-0 dismantling of Scotland at Miami Stadium on June 24 sealed top spot in Group C and sent the five-time World Cup winners into the knockout round.
Vinícius Júnior, the Real Madrid forward, was the architect of Scotland’s misery. He opened the scoring in the 7th minute and added a second deep into first-half stoppage time at 45+3 minutes. Matheus Cunha completed the rout with a goal in the 60th minute.
A clinical performance from start to finish
Cunha’s 60th-minute strike capped a performance that demonstrated Brazil’s depth across their attacking options. Brazil’s group stage record now reads as emphatic: two matches, two 3-0 victories. Their opening game against Haiti produced an identical scoreline, meaning the Seleção conceded zero goals and scored six across their Group C campaign.
