Scotland rue mistakes in defeat to Brazil

Scotland's football team suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brazil on Tuesday night, with defensive errors proving costly. The visitors took advantage of several mistakes to secure a comfortable victory.

Brazil opened the scoring when Scott McKenna was dispossessed by Bournemouth forward Rayan, allowing Vinicius Jr to slot past Angus Gunn. The second goal came from a Bruno Guimaraes cross that caught Gunn and full-back Nathan Patterson out of position, with Vinicius Jr heading in. After the break, Manchester United's Mateus Cunha made it three.

Speaking to BBC Sport, midfielder John McGinn said: "We lose poor goals at poor times against a team that can punish you with quality. We had a few chances but we've got to wait now. The lads are gutted, we fell short on quality but we gave it absolutely everything. The lads are empty now. It's unlikely [that we qualify] but we'll wait and see. It's a bit raw at the minute but we appreciate the support of the fans, we know it's difficult to be there. Hopefully the journey is not over and if we have to go again, we will go again."
