Andy Robertson and Alisson shared a touching moment after Scotland's 3-0 World Cup defeat to Brazil in Miami. It was the first time the pair had been reunited since Robertson left Liverpool at the end of the season to join Tottenham on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract.
Scotland's World Cup Hopes Dented
It was a bruising night for Scotland, who finished third in Group C and now rely on other results to reach the round of 32. Brazil struck early, with Scott McKenna's error gifting Vinicius Junior the opener inside 10 minutes, before the winger added a second on the stroke of half-time. Manchester United's Matheus Cunha wrapped up the scoring, firing in Brazil's third as they claimed top spot on goal difference despite finishing level on seven points with Morocco.
Group Results Worsen Scotland's Position
Later, Group A results only deepened Scotland's troubles, with South Africa's surprise 1-0 win over South Korea worsening their position in the third-place rankings. The African nation began the evening bottom of the group, but their victory secured a place in the next round for the first time in their history. The result pushed Scotland down to seventh in the third-place teams.
Emotional Reunion on the Pitch
Robertson approached Alisson at full-time, and the pair shared a warm embrace. They chatted briefly before Alisson appeared to wave up toward a member of Robertson's family in the stands. While it may have been Robertson and Alisson's first outing on different sides of the pitch, that will now become a regular occurrence in the Premier League.
Robertson's Legacy at Liverpool
Robertson spent nine years at Anfield in which he made 378 appearances and scored 14 goals while providing 69 assists from left-back. The Scotland captain was a key figure in a team that won a glut of honours including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
