How the game unfolded
Brazil took control early and made the breakthrough in the 23rd minute. Matheus Cunha was first to react inside the box, bundling in a scrappy opener to settle any nerves. The Selecao were comfortable on the ball and grew in confidence as the half wore on.
The second goal, in the 36th minute, was a class apart. Cunha picked up possession and produced a stunning finish to double the lead and complete his brace. Haiti, set up cautiously in a back five, could not contain Brazil’s movement and quality in the final third.
Right on the stroke of half-time, Vinicius Junior made it three. The Real Madrid forward broke clear and finished coolly in a one-on-one to send Brazil in 3-0 up at the break. Endrick thought he had added a fourth, but the goal was ruled out for offside.
With the game won, Brazil took their foot off the pedal after the interval. Haiti switched to a more attacking 4-4-2 and saw more of the ball, but they rarely troubled the Brazilian goal. Ancelotti’s side managed the closing stages with ease to wrap up a clean-sheet victory.

The stats reflect Brazil’s ruthless efficiency. They held the bulk of possession and turned their chances into a 1.75 xG against Haiti’s 0.23 — a gulf in quality of opportunity. Notably, Brazil’s defence did not concede a single shot in the first half, the first time they have managed that in a World Cup match since facing Scotland in 1990.
What the result means
The win confirmed Brazil’s place at the head of Group C on goal difference, level on points with Morocco after the Atlas Lions’ 1-0 win over Scotland. For Haiti, the defeat ended their tournament — a tough but valuable World Cup experience for the Caribbean side. Brazil will look to seal top spot in their final group game, with Ancelotti able to rotate from a position of strength.
