The situation occurred in the 22nd minute, when Brazil launched a high-pressure attack, forcing the Scottish defense into a mistake in their own half. Vinicius quickly seized the opportunity, challenging defender Jack Hendry, skillfully extending his leg to gain an advantage, and then breaking free to fire a diagonal shot into the net.

Initially, the goal was allowed, and the Brazilian star seemed to have completed a brace very early on, bringing his total number of goals at the 2026 World Cup to four.

However, Vinicius's joy was short-lived. Mexican referee Cesar Ramos, after reviewing the incident, decided not to award the goal. He ruled that the Brazilian striker had committed a foul by making contact with the Scottish defender's leg during the challenge before scoring.

This decision angered Vinicius. Television cameras captured the Brazilian striker repeatedly complaining to the referee, even saying, "It's a disgrace." Later, the Real Madrid star had a heated argument with the referee right on the pitch.

Commenting on the situation, former referee Iturralde Gonzalez said it was a controversial play. According to him, Vinicius was the one who proactively occupied the space first, and in football, the player who gains the space first usually deserves to be protected.

The expert also emphasized that the Scottish player did not seem to react too strongly, which further fueled the debate surrounding the decision to disallow Vinicius' goal after the match.
