Brazil's commanding 3–0 victory over Scotland at the World Cup was significant not just for securing first place in Group C, but because Vinicíus Júnior joined a rare group of legends by netting in every group stage match at a single tournament.
Much of the attention and media coverage has been directed toward Vinicíus's teammate Neymar, and his inclusion in Carlo Ancelotti's squad despite his ongoing injury struggles and the fact he hadn't featured for the Seleção since 2023.
Yet quietly, as the opening two weeks of the tournament have unfolded, Vinicíus has evolved into Brazil's key figure, and his brace against Scotland—which could have been a hat trick had a goal not been disallowed by VAR for a foul—crowned an exceptional all-around performance that served as a reminder to the world of who the true star of this Brazil side really is.
