After Mbappé, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Haaland, now it's Vinicius Junior making his mark. The Brazilian star netted a brace against Scotland in the third round of the World Cup.

The first goal, initially ruled out and then awarded thanks to VAR, came in the seventh minute. Vini capitalized on a poor clearance from McKenna, beat the keeper, and slotted the ball into the empty net.

The second goal came in the 45+3rd minute, as he latched onto a perfect cross from Bruno Guimarães and powered an unstoppable header into the far corner. A brace marked by poise and confidence.

And after scoring against both Morocco (1-1) and Haiti (2-1), the Real Madrid winger now boasts 4 goals and 2 assists in 3 group stage appearances.
