On June 25, Beijing time, the World Cup Group C final round featured a crucial match between Brazil and Scotland. For Brazil, a draw would be enough to secure a spot in the top two of the group. Only seven minutes into the game, Brazil seized the advantage thanks to an opponent's blunder, taking an early lead with ease.

In the 7th minute, a Scottish defender was passing the ball around in his own box, and Brazilian winger Rayan closed him down, causing Scottish center-back McKenna to make a poor clearance that handed the ball straight to Vinicius.
The Real Madrid superstar, worth 140 million euros, naturally did not waste such a golden chance. He calmly dribbled past Scottish goalkeeper Gunn and slotted the ball into an empty net, giving Brazil a lightning-fast lead.
In the 21st minute, Scotland made another costly mistake, allowing Vinicius to shake off his marker and easily score a second goal. However, VAR intervened, ruling that Vinicius had committed a foul first, so the goal was disallowed.

Despite the second goal being ruled out, Vinicius still managed to find the net in his third consecutive World Cup match.
In the first group match, Vinicius used his individual skill to cut inside and fire a powerful shot, equalizing for Brazil against Morocco. In the second group match, he contributed both a goal and an assist in the first half, leading Brazil to a 3-0 victory over Haiti.

Vinicius became the fifth Brazilian player in history to score in all three group-stage matches of a single World Cup. The previous four were Jairzinho in 1970, Romário in 1994, and Ronaldo and Rivaldo in 2002.

It is worth noting that on the three previous occasions this happened, Brazil went on to win the championship. For the "Samba Boys," this could be an encouraging omen.
