Vinicius Junior continues to light up the 2026 World Cup and has already etched his name into the history books of the Brazilian national team.
Details: The winger has racked up 8 goal contributions in 7 World Cup matches - 5 goals and 3 assists.
In the third round of the World Cup 2026 group stage against Scotland, Vinicius found the net twice in the first half alone.
Earlier in the tournament, the Real Madrid star scored against Morocco in a match that ended 1-1, and also notched a goal and an assist in the 3-0 win over Haiti.
Vinicius became the first Brazilian player in 24 years to score in every group stage match at a World Cup. The last to achieve this feat were Ronaldo and Rivaldo back in 2002.
Previously, Jairzinho did it at the 1970 World Cup and Romário at the 1994 tournament.
Reminder: At the 2022 World Cup, Vinicius played 4 matches, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists. Earlier, we reported that the Real Madrid winger scored against Scotland and continued his impressive run at the tournament.
