Overview
- The Scotland captain publicly called Alisson “the best keeper in the world” and recalled eight years training together at Liverpool, saying he rarely managed to score against him in practice.
- Scotland went into the Miami match needing at least a draw to guarantee progression from Group C, making scoring against Brazil a clear tournament priority for Steve Clarke’s side.
- Reports before the game said Alisson was expected to start for Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil and coverage stressed his strong club record of few goals conceded and consistent big‑game saves.
- Robertson led Scotland as captain while preparing for his summer move to Tottenham Hotspur and repeatedly urged his team to believe they could find a way past Brazil’s defence and goalkeeper.
- After the game, Brazil won 3-0, Robertson and Alisson shared a warm moment on the pitch, and Scotland finished third in the group and now must rely on other results to reach the last 32.
