Summary
Scotland were labelled fortunate after Brazil had a second goal controversially disallowed by VAR in the first half of their World Cup Group C decider in Miami. An error from Scott McKenna gifted Vinicius Junior the opener after seven minutes, and the Real Madrid star thought he'd doubled the lead after 23 minutes following another mistake by Jack Hendry, but VAR intervened to rule out the second goal.
