Vinícius scored twice in Brazil's 3-0 win over Scotland to move on to four goals at the 2026 World Cup.
He now sits level with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland in the tournament scoring chart, with Lionel Messi top on five. Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo have two each.
Vinícius had already scored Brazil's equaliser against Morocco and the second goal against Haiti. Mbappé's four goals have come against Senegal and Iraq, while Haaland has scored in his first two World Cup appearances, against Iraq and Senegal.
Messi turned 39 yesterday and followed a hat-trick against Algeria with two more goals against Austria. That took his World Cup tally to 18, a tournament record for him.
Five players are on three goals: Germany's Deniz Undav, Brazil's Matheus Cunha, Canada's Jonathan David, Morocco's Ismaël Saibari and Switzerland's Johan Manzabi.
