Matheus Cunha netted a first-half brace to power Brazil past Haiti in a commanding 3-0 victory on Matchday 2 of Group C at the 2026 World Cup. Brazil marched into Philadelphia Stadium fully aware that they needed an emphatic victory to keep control of their 2026 World Cup destiny, and they absolutely delivered for their fans, dismantling Haiti 3-0 on Matchday 2. Carlo Ancelotti’s squad came out with aggressive intent right from the opening whistle, hunting for an early breakthrough to settle any nerves. That opener arrived in the 23rd minute when Matheus Cunha found the back of the net to break the deadlock. With the early advantage secured, the Seleção looked completely in their element, turning up the pressure to hunt for more. Cunha struck again just 12 minutes later to double the lead. Right before the halftime whistle, Vinícius Júnior added a third to effectively ice the game before the teams even headed down the tunnel. With this crucial three points in the bag, Brazil climb to four points, putting them level with Morocco at the top of Group C, despite the Seleção currently holding the top spot on goal difference. Brazil will close out group play against Scotland on Wednesday, June 24, where they will look to officially punch their ticket to the Round of 32.
