Seven minutes in, Vinicius Junior reminded everyone what acceleration looks like, and Scotland spent the next eighty-three minutes trying to remember where they parked the defence.

Matheus Cunha tapped in the third just to confirm this was a showcase, not a contest, while Scotland's game plan looked suspiciously like hoping the clock had a fast-forward button.

No red cards, no VAR drama, no controversy, just Brazil flexing pace and Scotland learning the hard way that staying compact only works if the other team is also human.
