Neymar has singled out Vinicius Junior as Brazil's standout performer at the World Cup.

The forward made these remarks during a post-match interview on Wednesday after coming off the bench.

Brazil cruised past Scotland 3-0 at Miami Stadium in that encounter. Vinicius bagged two goals in the victory, with Matheus Cunha adding one.

"Vinicius Jr is our star at this World Cup. He's deciding games, he's doing great," Neymar told reporters.

Junior has now netted four goals across three matches. His previous strikes came against Morocco and Haiti.

It was Neymar's first appearance at the tournament following his recent return from injury.
