Scotland shock Brazil !
Scotland win 1-0 against Brazil and keep alive their chances to advance to the next round.
It was a very tight first half as both teams couldn't find the net. Scotland and Brazil attempted to beat the opposite defense with long balls but it doesn't work in the first minutes.Then, Scotland had a big chance to take the lead but Oliver Burke was denied a goal by Phelipe who deflected his effort. Eventually, Taylor (36') netted the opener for Scotland with a powerful strike from close range.
In the second half, Brazil tried to reverse the trend but struggled to create real chances Too muddled, the Carlos Amadeu's mens cannot equalize and the score will not change. Thanks to their first win, Scotland share now the second spot of the group C with the Auriverde.
