In the match against Scotland, Brazil secured their place at the top of Group C with a decisive 3-0 win, advancing to the knockout stage alongside Morocco. Vinicius was the star of the show, scoring two goals in the first half—one in the seventh minute and another just before halftime—while Matheus Cunha added a third after the break.

Brazil's dominance was evident throughout the match, as Scotland struggled to create significant scoring opportunities, despite a few late attempts. This match also marked a significant achievement for Vinicius, who became the first Brazilian in 24 years to score in each of the nation's first three World Cup matches, matching the records set by Ronaldo Nazario and Rivaldo in 2002.

He is now only the fifth Brazilian to reach this milestone. Brazil concluded the group stage with a total of seven points, while Scotland awaits to see if their three-point tally will be sufficient to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.
