Scotland vs Brazil LIVE: World Cup 2026 result, latest updates and fan reaction

Scots must not lose if they are to progress into knockout stages

Sorry Scotland lost a second World Cup group game with a bruising 3-0 defeat to Brazil in Miami to leave their last-32 hopes up in the air. Vinicius Junior took advantage of a horror mistake by returning Scots defender Scott McKenna to give the South Americans the lead in the seventh minute and then had the ball in the net in the 20th minute, but was adjudged to have fouled Jack Hendry.

But the lively Real Madrid attacker did get his second in added time of the first half after more poor defending and striker Matheus Cunha grabbed a third just after the hour mark.

Steve Clarke’s side, who were guaranteed third place in Group C after a 1-0 win against Haiti and a 1-0 defeat by Morocco, have a goal difference of minus three and have to wait to see if they finish the group stages as one of the eight best third-placed teams with several permutations possible.
