Matheus Cunha scored two goals to help Brazil secure a 3-0 victory over Haiti at the World Cup in Philadelphia. Initially struggling against Morocco, Brazil found their offensive rhythm, with Cunha's performance providing crucial attacking solutions. However, an injury to Raphinha raises questions about Cunha's future role, as he may revert to the wing to accommodate alternative forwards like Endrick. Brazil faces tougher matches ahead, including a critical game against Scotland in the group stage.
- •Cunha scores twice, leading Brazil's attack against Haiti
- •Raphinha leaves with a suspected hamstring injury
- •Brazil's next opponent is Scotland in group play
- •Endrick may see increased playing time if Raphinha is sidelined
- •Cunha previously went unused in the match against Morocco
