Brazil beat Haiti 3-0 in Group C to move into contention for a World Cup knockout-stage spot, with the Caribbean side becoming the first team eliminated from the tournament. Multiple outlets report that Matheus Cunha scored twice in the match, including a rapid start to the scoring, while Vinícius Júnior added the third goal. All three goals came in the first half, with Brazil viewed as noticeably improved following their opening game draw with Morocco.
The win lifts Brazil to the top of Group C on goal difference, ahead of Morocco, according to outlets including Channel NewsAsia and others. Haiti’s elimination is also consistently reported, with one source noting the team had already lost to Scotland 1-0 in its opening match, leaving them unable to reach the knockout phase.
Overall, the match is presented as a response by Brazil after earlier criticism of their performance, translating tactical and attacking improvements into a decisive result against Haiti at a venue in Philadelphia.
