⚽ World Cup Day Three: Scotland Emotional Return, Brazil Held, Late Drama Everywhere
🏴 SCOTLAND ARE BACK
28 years of waiting. Over.
John McGinn's deflected strike gave Scotland a nervy 1-0 win over Haiti — their first World Cup victory since 1990 and first appearance since 1998. The Tartan Army erupted. "It's been a long time coming," an emotional McGinn said. Scotland tops Group C. 🏴🔥
🇧🇷 BRAZIL ESCAPE — JUST BARELY
Morocco shocked Brazil early through Ismael Saibari, and the Seleção looked lost for long stretches. Enter Vinícius Júnior — a moment of brilliance to salvage a 1-1 draw. Brazil and Morocco level. Scotland leads the group. 😳
🇶🇦 QATAR STEAL A POINT IN INJURY TIME
Switzerland were minutes away from three points. Then Miro Muheim turned the ball into his own net. 1-1. Now all four teams in Group B are tied on one point. Wide open. 🏆
🇦🇺 AUSTRALIA IMPRESS
Nestory Irankunda produced a goal-of-the-day contender as the Socceroos cruised 2-0 over Turkey. Coach Tony Popovic: "Proud to put a smile on people's faces." Australia level with the US at the top of Group D. 🇦🇺
