Scotland 0:3 Brazil — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Vinícius Júnior scored twice as Brazil swept past Scotland 3-0 in the World Cup, setting up a quarter-final meeting with the winner of fixture W78 on 5 July. From the opening whistle Brazil looked sharper and more purposeful, while Scotland struggled to impose themselves on the contest.

The turning point arrived in the seventh minute when Vinícius Júnior tapped home from Rayan Rocha’s cross, and the lead was doubled just before half-time as the same player finished Bruno Guimarães’s pass. Any lingering hope for Scotland was extinguished in the 60th minute when Matheus Cunha added a third, again assisted by Bruno Guimarães. A VAR check on 22 minutes went Brazil’s way, and the only blemishes for the victors were yellow cards for Danilo and Fabinho, with Ryan Christie booked for Scotland late on.

Scotland were never in the game; Brazil controlled both halves with superior movement and composure. CheckLive's model rated Scotland marginally ahead before kick-off, but that call was emphatically wrong as Brazil dominated from start to finish. The live signals correctly backed Brazil at short odds, reflecting the one-sided nature of the match. Brazil now await the winner of fixture W78 in the quarter-finals.
