Rayane scores on his World Cup debut as number 26 dispossesses number 26

In Group C of the FIFA World Cup, Brazil faced Scotland in their third match. Rayane made his first World Cup start and set up a goal with aggressive pressing from the opening stages, helping Brazil take an early lead.

In the 7th minute, Scotland defender McKenna hesitated slightly while playing the ball out from the back. Rayane immediately pressed forward and dispossessed him. The loose ball fell to Vinicius, who calmly dribbled past the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into the net to give Brazil a 1-0 lead.

Notably, both Rayane and McKenna wore the number 26 shirt—for Brazil and Scotland, respectively—creating the unusual coincidence of "number 26 dispossessing number 26." This was Rayane's first start at the FIFA World Cup after appearing as a substitute in Brazil's 3-0 victory over Haiti.
