Brazil secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Haiti at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, eliminating their opponents from the tournament and moving to the top of Group C on goal difference.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side dominated from the outset and could have won by a larger margin had they maintained the same intensity after the break.
Matheus Cunha, brought into the starting lineup in place of Igor Thiago, opened the scoring with a scrappy close-range finish. The striker doubled both his tally and Brazil’s advantage minutes later with a brilliant strike, putting the five-time world champions firmly in control.

Vinicius Junior added a third before halftime, showing his composure with an excellent one-on-one finish after breaking through Haiti’s defence.
Haiti switched from a defensive 5-4-1 formation to a more attacking 4-4-2 in the second half, but neither side was able to alter the scoreline. Brazil eased off the pace after the interval, while Haiti struggled to create meaningful chances despite their tactical adjustment.
The result, coupled with Morocco’s 1-0 victory over Scotland, sees Brazil climb to the summit of Group C on goal difference as they continue their pursuit of a sixth World Cup title.
