Scotland’s World Cup dream hanging by a thread after Vinícius sparks Brazil victory

Scotland suffered a defeat to Brazil in their FIFA World Cup group stage match in Miami, leaving their hopes of advancing to the last 32 hanging by a thread. They must now wait to see if they qualify as one of the best eight third-placed teams, having delivered a largely toothless performance throughout the tournament. The result means Scotland have been outscored by the likes of Haiti, New Zealand, Iran, and Cape Verde, putting Steve Clarke's side under significant pressure.
