Brazil beats Haiti 3-0 to match Morocco atop Group C

Brazil fulfilled expectations by defeating Haiti 3-0 in their second match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, securing three crucial points and easing the pressure after an opening draw. The victory places the five-time world champions level with Morocco at the top of Group C, significantly boosting their chances of advancing to the knockout stage.

Matheus Cunha was the standout performer, scoring twice, with Vinícius Júnior adding a late goal. Cunha's brace was particularly notable, as he doubled his international goal tally for Brazil in a single match. Vinícius Júnior also played a key role, influencing the first goal, assisting the second, and scoring the third.

Despite the comfortable scoreline, Brazil's performance was not consistently brilliant. They showed moments of attacking flair but also periods of defensive lapses. Haiti, despite their efforts and showing some bravery in attack, was ultimately outmatched by Brazil's technical quality. The Haitian defense was often exposed, particularly after losing possession in midfield, and struggled to contain Brazil's dynamic forwards.

Haiti's loss confirms their elimination from the World Cup, making them the first team to exit the tournament. Brazil, now with four points, will face Scotland in their final group game, needing a result to secure their progression.
