Matheus Cunha scored twice to help Brazil secure a comfortable 3-0 win against Haiti in their second World Cup group stage match.
Brazil secured a clinical 3-0 victory against Haiti in their second World Cup group stage fixture. Despite an early yellow card for Haiti's C. Arcus in the 4th minute, Brazil quickly asserted their dominance and showcased their attacking prowess, particularly through Matheus Cunha.
Matheus Cunha opened the scoring for Brazil in the 23rd minute, before adding his second goal in the 36th minute, assisted by Vinicius Junior. Just before halftime, Vinicius Junior himself got on the scoresheet in the 45+3 minute, capping off a dominant first half for the Brazilians who were clinical with their 5 shots on target. Haiti struggled to contain the opposition, accumulating three yellow cards throughout the match.
Haiti made several substitutions in the second half in an attempt to change their fortunes, but Brazil effectively managed the game, making tactical changes of their own to conserve energy. Cunha and Vinicius Junior, both goal scorers, were substituted in the 64th and 81st minutes respectively. Brazil controlled 57% of possession and were efficient with their passing, completing 88% of attempts, ultimately proving too strong for their opponents. For Haiti, this result sets a challenging tone for their remaining group stage matches.
