Sharjah24: Brazil took a major step towards the last 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after securing a convincing 3-0 win over Haiti in their second Group C match at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Vinícius Júnior starred for Brazil, providing assists for Matheus Cunha’s first two goals in the 23rd and 36th minutes, before adding a goal of his own in first-half stoppage time.

The victory marked a strong response from Brazil after their opening draw against Morocco, lifting them to four points at the top of Group C.

Morocco, which defeated Scotland 1-0 earlier in the day, also moved to four points but trails Brazil on goal difference.

Scotland sit third, three points ahead, with a decisive final group-stage encounter against Brazil coming up, while Haiti remain bottom of the standings without a point and have been mathematically eliminated from the tournament.

With an impressive attacking display led by Vinícius and Cunha, Brazil now need only avoid defeat in their final group match to secure progression to the knockout stage.
