Vinicius Jr and Matheus Cunha Score as Brazil Cruise to Victory Over Haiti
Brazil have secured a 3-0 victory over Haiti, maintaining their 100% record against Les Grenadiers and sending them to the top of Group C. The win eliminates Haiti from the competition.
After a disappointing draw against Morocco, Brazil arrived in Philadelphia looking to prove a point. Matheus Cunha opened the scoring midway through the first half, forcing the ball in after Johny Placide parried Vinicius Junior's driven shot. Cunha added a second with an emphatic effort at the near post, before Vinicius Junior sealed the win with a low shot beyond Placide.
Haiti posed a greater threat in the second half, with Ricardo Ade's glancing header from a near-post corner forcing Alisson Becker into a fine reaction stop. Brazil recorded their first clean sheet of 2026, despite being unable to add to their tally in the second half. Carlo Ancelotti's side will look to confirm their place in the round of 32 when they face Scotland in their final group game.
