Brazil vs. Scotland live score, result, highlights as Vinicius pounces on Scottish error to give Selecao the lead

Jogo Bonito — "the beautiful game" in Portuguese — was in full display when Brazil took on Haiti in its second World Cup match. The Brazilians returned to form with a glistening 3-0 win over Haiti, spearheaded by the delightful exploits of Manchester United star Matheus Cunha.

Cunha, who bears the scars of the Selecao's iconic No. 9 strip, burst the net with two lively efforts. He was joined on the scoresheet by Vinicius Junior as Carlo Ancelotti's swept Les Grenadiers aside.

Brazil finds itself right in the mix for the Group C crown, level on points with Morocco but with a superior goal difference. A strong outing against Scotland — who is all but confirmed to make the knockout stages — could see the Brazilians snatch the top spot from the Atlas Lions, potentially setting the stage for an ideal matchup against one of the World Cup minnows in the Rounds of 32, 16 and beyond.
