Brazil Dominates Haiti with Strong Attacking Performance

After a poor first game against Morocco, Brazil needed to be better, and they certainly have.

Paqueta, Vinicius Junior, and Cunha have been the real standouts for Brazil. Just picking apart the Haitian defence, who just haven't enough going forward and have looked vulnerable at the back.

Goal difference will be important in this tournament, and Brazil doesn't seem to be slowing down as they hunt for goals.

Vinicius Junior gets a goal he thoroughly deserves.

Vini Junior makes no mistake with a nice, delicate finish into the back of the net.

Another excellent finish from the Real Madrid winger who gets his second of the tournament.

Brazil gets their second, and it's a lovely finish from Cunha.

Brazil is once again on the counter and Vinicius Junior is at the heart of it and has the Haitian defence on the back foot.

He sets up Matheus Cunha with a perfectly timed pass into his path on a diagonal run, and Cunha smashes it into the back of the net.

There is no stopping that.

They really are starting to flex their attacking prowess.

A good bit of play from Paqueta who combines with Vinicius Junior on the left wing.

Vinicius Junior's pass back to Paqueta is just not as good and it misses him inside the box.

Matheus Cunha gets Brazil going.

Vinicius Junior latches onto the ball in the box, cuts onto his right foot, and his shot is saved.

But it falls into the path of Cunha, who lunges for it and can poke it into the net for the all-important first goal.

An excellent run from Experience, who wiggles past a few Brazilians, sends the ball into the path of Arcus, who had gone slightly early.

His cross was too deep, but it wouldn't have mattered as the flag went up.

Haiti doesn't seem to be employing a defensive style of play, working their way into attacking positions, but Brazil is able to cover and clear the danger.

They certainly didn't come to the World Cup to be just a number.

The Brazilians were outplayed early before Vinícius Júnior's 32nd-minute goal helped them rally for a draw against Morocco.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti said the team was "a bit anxious at the beginning. Nerves were all over the place".

Brazil should have a big talent advantage over Haiti, even with star Neymar ruled out because of a calf injury.

The Brazilians will be under pressure to secure a lopsided win after the uninspiring performance against Morocco.

For many Haitian fans, there were mixed emotions in a country that has long had a soft spot for Brazil's football team.

Morocco scored the fastest goal of the 2026 World Cup as they beat Scotland 1-0 in Boston.

Ismael Saibari charged into the box before blasting a shot into the roof of the net to shock the Scots.

Morocco dominated the game but both sides struggled to create decent chances.

A great block from Jack Hendry in the 49th minute saved Scotland from further blushes.

A cut back found Saibari, only for Hendry to deflect the shot up on to the junction of crossbar and post.
