Coach Carlo Ancelotti selected Rayan as a starter in the Brazilian team for the first time in this World Cup.
For Brazil’s third and decisive match in Group C, against Scotland, in Miami, the Bournemouth striker (ex-Vasco) will replace Raphinha. He had already entered the first half against Haiti, when the Barcelona player was injured.
Rayan, 19, scored a goal in the last friendly before the World Cup, beating Panama 6-2.
In 15 Premier League matches, Rayan scored 5 times and became a key player in Bournermouth’s attack.
Neymar appears for the first time as an option on the bench. In the first two matches, the number 10 of the national team and Santos had not even been mentioned. In the first, he was still with the group in New Jersey. In the second, against Haiti, in Philadelphia, he did not travel.
With 4 points, Brazil leads Group C by goal difference. Morocco, with the same 4 points, faces Haiti at the same time, in Atlanta.
In third place, Scotland, with 3 points, needs to score to try to get a place in the second phase of the World Cup.
