Bournemouth winger Rayan became the youngest player on record to provide an assist for Brazil at the World Cup, having teed up Vinicius Jr just seven minutes into their group-stage encounter with Scotland.

Muller previously held the record after scoring against Northern Ireland during the 1986 World Cup at 20 years and 132 days old.

Rayan, 19, also became just the sixth teenager to start a World Cup match for Brazil - and he was the first to do so since Marco Antonio in 1970.

A 3-0 victory for the five-time champions at Miami Stadium meant they finished top of Group C, while third-placed Scotland must now wait to see if they will qualify for the last 32.
