Result Scotland vs Brazil, Wednesday, 24 June 2026, World Cup Group

Brazil triumphed over Scotland with a score of 3-0 during their Group C match on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. This win guaranteed their place in the Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The standout player was undoubtedly Vinícius Júnior, who netted two goals at the 7th and 45+3 minutes. Matheus Cunha then contributed a third goal in the 60th minute, sealing the victory for the five-time champions.

Regarding Serie A players selected for Brazil, neither Juventus defender Gleison Bremer nor Atalanta midfielder Éderson saw any playing time, as they were both on the bench. We look forward to seeing them play in the Round of 32. A heartwarming moment took place in the 76th minute when Brazilian superstar Neymar made his highly awaited return to the pitch substituting Matheus Cunha. This marked his first appearance in the 2026 World Cup after recovering from a calf injury. The crowd erupted in cheers, chanting his name. Without a doubt, Neymar is Brazil’s all-time leading scorer, with 79 goals in 130 international matches. At 34 years old, Neymar has participated in each of the last three World Cups for Brazil, netting eight goals.

There is still a glimmer of hope for Scotland, as their chances of advancing depend on securing one of the best third-place qualification spots in the tournament.

 

What’s at Stake?

The Situation for Scotland:   After a victory over Haiti and a loss to Morocco, Scotland currently has 3 points. A draw against Brazil should be sufficient to help them qualify for the knockout phase as one of the best third-placed teams.

Brazil's Position: Under the management of Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil aims to clinch the top position in Group C. They recently secured a 3-0 win against Haiti.

 

Head-to-Head History:

This match marks the fifth encounter between these two nations in a World Cup group stage, having previously met in 1974, 1982, 1990, 1998, and now in 2026. Scotland has yet to achieve a victory over Brazil in any World Cup competitive match.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland 0 - 1 Brazil 🇧🇷

⚽️ Goal by Vinicius Junior. What a blunder by the Scottish defense! McKenna makes a mistake in the build-up and loses the duel with Rayan, allowing the ball to reach Vinicius, who takes a couple of confident touches, goes around goalkeeper Angus Gunn, and rolls it into the open net. GOOALLLLL and the Brazilian fans erupt in celebration at the Stadium!
