BrazilvsScotland
BRA 3/SCO 0
Things to say
Brazil beat Scotland 3-nil at the Hard Rock in their World Cup group stage match.
01
opener
Yeah, Brazil handled Scotland three-nil. Scotland actually battled for a bit, but the quality told in the end. Class is class.
02
key player
Vini Junior was unplayable. Eight shots, ran their backline ragged all night. When he's switched on, nobody's keeping him quiet.
03
hot take
Honestly three-nil flatters Scotland a touch. Coulda been five if Brazil were clinical.
04
deep cut
Angus Gunn made five saves and still picked it out of his net three times, that tells you the kind of pressure Scotland were under. Clean sheet for Alisson on the other end.
05
exit
Anyway, Scotland need a result next match or they're packing for home. Should be a tense one.
The recap
Brazil rolled into Miami and handed Scotland a proper paddling, running out 3-0 winners with Vinícius Júnior tormenting them all night, firing off eight shots and pulling the strings. Scotland actually had Angus Gunn to thank it wasn't worse, the keeper pulling off five saves to keep the scoreline respectable.
Brazil's defense never blinked either, Alisson grabbing a clean sheet and Gabriel Magalhães mopping up everything thrown at him. Scotland huffed and puffed but couldn't find the net, and they're now staring at the exit with a 1-0-2 record while Brazil cruise through.
