The win also saw Brazil dominate proceedings, with Scotland struggling to create clear chances despite a few late efforts.
The match also marked a historic milestone for Vinicius, who became the first Brazilian in 24 years to score in each of the nation’s first three World Cup matches, equalling the feat of Ronaldo Nazario and Rivaldo from 2002.
He also became only the fifth Brazilian overall to achieve the record. Brazil finished the group stage with seven points, while Scotland must now wait to see if their three-point tally is enough to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams. (ANI)
