The Brazilian winger thought he had doubled his tally midway through the first half when he found the net again after a fluent move. However, after a VAR review, the goal was ruled out due to a foul by a Scottish defender in the build-up, denying Brazil a second goal that seemed to be deserved.
Brazil continued to dominate possession and create chances, with Scotland struggling to contain the pace and pace of Vinicius and Ryan in the final third. As the half grew weaker, the South Americans were increasingly likely to increase their advantage.
Ultimately their pressure bore fruit during the stoppage time. In the third minute of first-half extra time, Bruno Guimarães delivered a lovely cross into the penalty area and Vinicius rose high to score his second goal of the night.
The winger celebrated by dancing near the corner flag, while thousands of Brazilian supporters in the stands joined in the celebration.
