7 minutes, McKenna takes too long clearing the ball in his own area,
Rayan closed him down, the ball fell for Vinicius Jnr who evaded the
keeper's challenge and tapped into the empty net to put Brazil 1-0 up.

Terrible start for Scotland.

23 minutes, another mugging in the Scotland area as Vinicius Jnr takes
the ball from Hendry and puts it into the back of the net. It looked to
be 2-0 but the goal was annulled on VAR review due to a foul by
Vinicius Jnr. Opinion appears to be divided as to whether there was
enough contact to merit a foul but the "goal" has been cancelled. The
score remains 1-0 Brazil.

Almost suicidal defending at times, also for the 0-2z
At the 13th attempt the same old Scottish group phase
heartbreak?

The other match in the group is of less relevance but
much more fun.

Brazil went in 2-0 up at half time, on 60 minutes they find Cunha in the
area who shoots past the keeper to make it 3-0.

Scotland are having some pressure but the goal difference is looking a
bit dodgy now.

Since when are Scottish defenders this soft?

FT:


Scotland 0 - Brazil 3


McTominay had a shot from close range saved in injury time. That could
well determine whether Scotland's goal difference is sufficient to
progress as a top 8 third placed team.

Even with 3pts and -3 GD they could still progress if other results go
their way. A 42% chance of progression was quoted during the broadcast.
