Brazil vs Haiti World Cup 2026: how Brazil won it
Brazil won by finally taking their chances. After a frustrating 1-1 draw with Morocco in their opener, the favourites turned dominance into goals through Matheus Cunha, who struck twice inside 36 minutes. Vinicius Junior added a third in first-half stoppage time, and the contest was effectively over by the break.
Cunha was the difference. His movement and finishing gave Brazil the early control they had lacked against Morocco, and once Vinicius made it three the second half became a managed exercise. Haiti, organised and committed, could not lay a glove on the scoreline, and Brazil eased through the closing stages with the points and a much-needed goal-difference boost secured.
What it means for Group C
The result moves Brazil onto four points, level with Morocco, who beat Scotland 1-0 the same day. Haiti, beaten in both their games and unable to recover, become the first nation mathematically out of World Cup 2026. Brazil’s superior firepower now puts qualification firmly in their hands going into the final round. Track the picture on our group standings tracker and the live standings page.
