Scotland face Brazil with a knockout place on the line in Miami

A tight group, decided on the last day

Brazil top Group C on four points with a goal difference of plus three, having drawn 1-1 with Morocco and beaten Haiti. Morocco are also on four, plus one, after beating Scotland 1-0 and drawing with Brazil. Scotland are third on three points with a goal difference of zero: a 1-0 win over Haiti on the opening night, then a narrow loss to Morocco. Haiti, beaten twice, are out.

What Scotland need

Scotland sit one good result from the next round, but it has to come against the group's strongest side. A win would lift them clear; a draw could be enough depending on how Morocco fare against Haiti at the same time, and on the third-place table across the other groups. Defeat would leave them relying entirely on the third-place math. Brazil, for their part, want the win that locks up first place rather than leaving the order to the simultaneous Morocco game.
