‘Scott McKenna has let the whole of Scotland down’… Defender slammed for mistake during World Cup clash with Brazil

Scott McKenna will want to forget this FIFA World Cup 2026 mistake in a hurry.

The talented player made a major error during Scotland’s clash with Brazil inside Miami Stadium in Florida, USA.

Scott McKenna made huge blunder against Brazil

Going into the match, Scotland knew that a win would guarantee qualification to the Round of 32 in the FIFA World Cup 2026, while a draw would also likely secure a place. In all likelihood, the only thing that would leave them in a worrying position would be a loss, with even that still potentially being enough to get them through.

However, it took just seven minutes for things to start falling apart for the underdogs. Scott McKenna received the ball in the box, but took far too long to get rid of it, giving Rayan a chance to get his foot on the attempted pass, sending the ball flying towards Vinicius Junior.

The Brazilian superstar can hit the back of the net when the odds are heavily stacked against him, never mind when he’s left with an absolute sitter. The icon scored with ease, leaving McKenna devastated.

One said: “Scott McKenna has let the whole of Scotland down. What is he doing? Mountain to climb now for Scotland.” A second fumed: “McKenna should be substituted and sent home now without showering. That is unacceptable.”

Another raged: “Scott McKenna, hang your head in shame.” A fourth posted: “What was Scott McKenna trying to do there?”
