The victory on Wednesday came at a full house in Miami Stadium, where 64,478 fans watched Carlo Ancelotti’s side top the group with seven points, while Morocco finished second with a 4-2 win over Haiti.
Vinicius Junior scored two goals, Matheus Cunha also scored as the five-time World Cup champion, Brazil beat Scotland 3-0 on Wednesday, advancing to the knockout stage as the Group C winner.
Vinicius has scored in every game so far, and the 25-year-old has four goals in the tournament to find himself in elite company, level with Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, and sitting just one goal behind Lionel Messi.
Just in the 7th minute, Scott McKenna failed to clear the ball, allowing Rayan to nick it and find Vinicius unmarked, as goalkeeper Angus Gunn scrambled to stop him, the Real Madrid forward simply took one touch to move the ball past him and tap it into an empty net as the fans in yellow erupted. Brazil nearly made it 2-0 just before the first hydration break, when Vinicius nicked the ball off Jack Hendry to score, but the goal was overturned by the referee for a foul by the Brazilian with the help of a VAR intervention.
Brazil won the ball high up the pitch and Bruno Guimaraes crossed the ball to the far post, where a grateful Vinicius headed home his second. While the third goal came in the second half with another scything move through the midfield as Guimaraes grabbed his second assist, dancing into the box before setting up Matheus Cunha for his third goal of the tournament.
But the biggest cheer of the night was reserved for Neymar, as Ancelotti brought the 34-year-old on for his first appearance in a Brazil shirt since October 2023.
