In what appeared to be a convincing victory through the first half, Brazil defeated Haiti 3-0 during the World Cup match. The Brazilian side took a three-goal lead by halftime.
The scoring began in the 23rd minute when Matheus Cunha opened the scoring, capitalizing on a rebound saved by goalkeeper Placide. Cunha struck again in the 36th minute after a turnover from Haiti, slotting the ball into the near corner. Just before the break, Vinícius Júnior completed the clean sheet by converting a rapid counter-attack, beating out Pierrot to slot the third goal home.
Although Brazil maintained control of the match in the second half, they failed to convert several opportunities. Gabriel Martinelli struck the crossbar in the 69th minute after finding space in the penalty area. Haiti attempted to find an equalizer, but the Brazilian defense remained solid. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker saved a dangerous header attempt by Adé in the 63rd minute, ensuring the score remained unchanged.
Looking at the group standings, Brazil now occupies first place in World Cup Group C, boasting four points. Morocco and Scotland are tied with three points in third place, while Haiti remains winless and without a goal after two games, sitting in fourth place. The final round of the preliminary matches sees Brazil facing Scotland on Wednesday, followed by a match between Morocco and Haiti.
