Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Hard Rock Stadium that hosts another battle between Scotland and Brazil.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 7' Brazil is taking the lead after the goal scored by Vinicius Junior on 7.
- 12' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 17' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marquinhos made 520 appearances and scored 27 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 22' Vinicius Junior with the second goal in the match!
- 27' Scotland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
- 32' It looks surprising Brazil does not make any changes. Lewis Ferguson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 37' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 42' Scotland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 46' Kieran Tierney has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andrew Robertson on 46 minute.
- 48' GOAL! Vinicius Junior scores on 45.
- 53' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Brazil winning 100% of all matches.
- 58' It’s high time Steve Clarke made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 60' GOAL! Matheus Cunha scores on 60. Assisted by Bruno Guimaraes
- 62' The referee shows Brazil player a card on 62.
- 66' It is a substitution in Brazil team. Casemiro is replaced by Fabinho on 66 minute.
- 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Angus Gunn suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' Brazil manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Neymar is hanging Matheus Cunha on the field on 76 minute.
- 81' Scotland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Christie is hanging Ben Doak on the field on 81 minute.
- 82' The referee shows Brazil player a card on 82.
- 82' Time for substitution for Brazil. Rayan is replaced by Endrick.
- 87' It looks like no one’s ball. Scotland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 89' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ryan Christie on 89.
- 90' Scotland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Che Adams is hanging Lawrence Shankland on the field on 90 minute.
- The final score is 0-3.
