Brazil beats Haiti 3-0 to claim first World Cup win

Brazil earned a decisive 3-0 victory over Haiti, securing their first win of the World Cup and boosting their campaign after an opening draw with Morocco. The win, however, was tempered by an injury concern for key player Raphinha.

Matheus Cunha opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, with the ball deflecting off a defender into the net. He doubled Brazil's lead in the 36th minute after a swift passing move involving Vinicius Junior. Vinicius Junior himself then added a third goal just before halftime, capitalizing on a long pass from Lucas Paqueta.

The match saw Brazil dominate after the initial 20 minutes, with Haiti struggling to contain their attacking prowess. While Brazil had further chances in the second half, including a shot that hit the post and another disallowed goal, the scoreline remained unchanged. The victory places Brazil level on points with Morocco, with both teams having four points after two matches, setting up a crucial final group game against Scotland.
