Brazil secured top spot in Group C while South Africa, Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina all celebrated historic World Cup breakthroughs on a dramatic day of action early Thursday’s morning.
The five-time world champions eased into the last 32 with a convincing 3-0 victory over Scotland in Miami. Vinicius Junior starred with a first-half brace, capitalising on a costly defensive error before adding a second in stoppage time. Matheus Cunha completed the scoring after the interval as Carlo Ancelotti’s side finished ahead of Morocco on goal difference.
The match also marked the tournament debut of Neymar, who came off the bench for his first appearance of the finals.
