Brazil defeats Haiti 3-0 but struggles to find top form

Brazil secured a 3-0 victory against Haiti in Philadelphia on June 19, 2026, with two goals from Matheus Cunha and another from Vinicius Jr., all in the first half. Despite the win, Brazil's performance was marked by a lack of attacking efforts in the second half, where they failed to register a shot on target. This win comes after a disappointing 1-1 draw against Morocco in their opening match, leaving Brazil with four points from two games and a likely berth in the last-32 stage. Coach Carlo Ancelotti emphasized the team's need for improvement ahead of the next match against Scotland on June 24, 2026. Additionally, Neymar is expected to return for the next match after missing the Haiti game due to a calf injury.
