Brazil forward Neymar made his first appearance at the Fifa World Cup during their match against Scotland.
Vinicius Júnior made it four goals in three matches at the Fifa World Cup as Brazil cruised to a 3-0 victory over Scotland on Wednesday, sealing progress to the round of 32 as Group C winners and leaving their opponents in danger of another first-round exit.
The Real Madrid superstar took full advantage of a defensive howler to give Brazil an early lead in Miami and headed in another in first-half stoppage time. Scotland were never really in the contest and Matheus Cunha registered a third on the hour mark for the record five-time World Cup winners, who brought on Neymar towards the end for his first international appearance in over two-and-a-half years.
There remain doubts as to whether Carlo Ancelotti's side are genuine contenders to win this tournament, but boosted by finishing top of the pile, they head to Texas for a round of 32 tie in Houston on June 29. That fixture will be against the runners-up in Group F, which will be either the Netherlands, Japan, or Sweden.
After scoring in both the opening 1-1 draw with Morocco and the 3-0 win over Haiti, Vinicius Júnior is the first Brazilian to find the net in every group match at a World Cup since Ronaldo and Rivaldo both did so in 2002. With four goals, he sits just one behind Lionel Messi and level with Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé in the Golden Boot race.
