It was a rather unspectacular affair for Brazil on Fright night, easily dismantling Haiti 3–0 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia in its second World Cup outing, to take back the reins of Group C and send Haiti packing, as the first team eliminated from the tournament.
Matheus Cunha opened the night’s scoring in the 23rd minute, rebounding a line-drive from Vinicius Junior that reverberated off the fingertips of Haiti goalkeeper Johny Placide. Cunha quickly decided he liked the taste of his first-ever World Cup goal and added another one just 13 minutes later. Once again, the Manchester United star combined with his Real Madrid counterpart, who slipped him a diagonal ball through Haiti’s defensive line. Cunha then fired it with his left foot into the top of the net.
