Brazil vs Haiti: Result, Stats & Predictions (World Cup 2026)
Brazil cruise past Haiti 3-0 in Philadelphia as Matheus Cunha's brace and a Vinicius Jr strike seal comfortable Group C victory.
19 June 2026
Result
Brazil 3–0 Haiti. Matheus Cunha broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute with a deflected effort, then doubled his tally shortly after the half-hour with a clean strike into the top-left corner. Vinícius Júnior added the third in first-half stoppage time. Haiti had no answer in the opening 45 minutes, and the second half was largely academic. Brazil top Group C; Haiti are eliminated.
What it means for Last Man Standing pools
Brazil were the banker pick of the week, and they delivered exactly that. Anyone who saved Brazil for this round — or used them here — will have breathed easy by half-time. Haiti's elimination also changes the remaining Group C dynamics: Brazil and Morocco are now the two sides to track, while Scotland need a result against Brazil to have any hope. For pool players still alive, Brazil may well appear on the teamsheet again when the knockouts begin.
Pre-match forecasts
Virtually no pre-match model entertained any other outcome. The Opta supercomputer gave Brazil an 87% win probability — one of the highest for any match in this tournament's group stage. Haiti's win probability sat at around 4%, with the draw at roughly 9%. Those numbers reflected reality: Brazil have never lost to Haiti at a World Cup, and the gap in squad quality was stark. The 3–0 scoreline was entirely consistent with what forecasters expected before kickoff.
Standout stats
Matheus Cunha's brace made him Brazil's first player to score twice in a World Cup group stage match since Ronaldo in 2006, per tournament records — context that underlines just how dominant Cunha was in the first half. Vinícius Júnior, meanwhile, has now been directly involved in four goals across five World Cup appearances, maintaining the form that made him so dangerous at club level. Lucas Paquetá pulled the strings for 64 minutes in the middle of the park, with Brazil controlling both possession and tempo throughout. Haiti mustered barely a meaningful chance all evening.
