Vinicius Jr. leads Brazil to comfortable victory over Haiti
Vinicius Jr. scored and provided an assist as Brazil secured a 3-0 win against Haiti in their 2026 World Cup group stage match.
Brazil secured a comfortable 3-0 victory against Haiti in their second group stage match of the 2026 World Cup. Vinicius Jr. was the standout performer, playing a central role in the team's attacking dominance.
The deadlock was broken when a powerful strike from Vinicius forced a rebound that Matheus Cunha converted into the net. Later, Vinicius delivered a precise pass for Cunha to score his second of the match with an exquisite left-footed finish. Just before the halftime whistle, Vinicius added a third, breaking through the defensive line to beat the goalkeeper after a long pass from Lucas Paquetá.
Despite the strong first-half display, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti struggled to maintain intensity after the break. Alisson was forced into action multiple times, making key saves to prevent Haiti from scoring and ensuring a clean sheet for the South American side. The second half performance left some questions regarding efficiency in the final third.
Following their opening draw against Morocco, this result puts Brazil at the top of their group. The team now turns its attention to the final group match against Scotland, who are fighting for a place in the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams.
