0-3: Vini Jr.'s brace against Scotland as Brazil qualifies as group leaders
The madridista forward, who has scored in all three World Cup matches, led his team to the round of 16.
Vini Jr. was once again the standout player for Brazil on the third matchday of the World Cup. The madridista shined in the victory against Scotland with two goals in the first half, securing his team's progression to the next round as leaders of Group C. The forward, who has scored four goals, has found the net in all three matches played. Endrick came off the bench and featured in the final stretch of the game.
Brazil opened the scoring in the 7th minute with Vini Jr.'s first goal. Rayan won the ball through pressing, passed to the madridista inside the box, and with a cut, he left Gunn on the ground before scoring into an empty net. Midway through the first half, VAR disallowed a Vini Jr. goal due to a foul on defender Hendry before beating the Scottish goalkeeper.
Ancelotti's side would not settle, and Vini Jr., on the brink of halftime, scored his second goal with a header from a perfectly placed cross by Cunha from the right. Cunha himself sealed the match in the 60th minute with a 0-3. Endrick came on in the 81st minute for Rayan and played the final stretch. Brazil will face the second-placed team from Group F in the round of 16.
