Scotland were lucky to lose only 3-0 as Vinicius Jr-inspired Brazil tore them apart... Steve Clarke's gamble backfired and two individual errors could see them go home, writes RIATH AL-SAMARRAI

Scotland barely escaped with a 3-0 defeat against a dominant Brazil, led by the electrifying performance of Vinicius Jr. Steve Clarke's tactical choices appeared to backfire, and the team's vulnerabilities were exposed. Despite the low scoreline, the match highlighted potential issues that could have serious implications for Scotland's World Cup campaign. Individual errors in defense put them at risk, and if they face a similarly strong opponent, their journey might end sooner than expected.
