Brazil beat Scotland to reach World Cup 2026 knockout stage

Scotland suffered a 3-0 defeat against Brazil in their World Cup 2026 Group C finale in Miami.

Vinicius Jr scored two goals for Brazil, with Matheus Cunha adding a third.

Vinicius Jr opened the scoring after capitalising on a defensive error by Scott McKenna.

A second goal from Vinicius Jr, a header from Bruno Guimaraes's cross, extended Brazil's lead before Matheus Cunha sealed the victory.

The loss complicates Scotland's qualification hopes for the last 32, though their earlier win against Haiti and the new 48-team format mean they could still progress.
