Brazil secured top spot in Group C after a convincing 3-0 victory over Scotland, while Morocco booked their place in the knockout stage with an entertaining 4-2 comeback win over Haiti. Both nations finished on seven points, but the Selecao claimed first place thanks to a superior goal difference.
Brazil Finish Top of Group C
Brazil produced another dominant display to defeat Scotland 3-0 in their final group match. Vinicius Junior continued his outstanding tournament by scoring twice, while Matheus Cunha added the third as Carlo Ancelotti’s side completed the group stage unbeaten with two wins and one draw.
The victory guaranteed Brazil first place in Group C with seven points, edging Morocco on goal difference. Scotland, meanwhile, remain on three points and must now wait to discover whether they have done enough to qualify as one of the tournament’s eight best third-placed teams. Their negative goal difference makes the task difficult, although qualification is still mathematically possible.
Morocco Advance After Beating Haiti
Morocco also finished the group stage with seven points after fighting back to beat Haiti 4-2. The Atlas Lions recovered from falling behind twice, with Achraf Hakimi, Ismael Saibari, Soufiane Rahimi, and Gessime Yassine all finding the net to secure a deserved victory.
Haiti twice found the net through an own goal by Yassine Bounou and a finish from Wilson Isidor. However, Morocco responded each time to secure a 4-2 victory, ending Haiti’s World Cup campaign with three straight defeats
