Matheus Cunha scores Brazil's first goal with M. Cunha move

Matheus Cunha, 27, scored Brazil's first goal against Haiti in the Copa do Mundo Fifa 2026 group stage and then went to his trademark move. The finish put the Seleção Brasileira on the board in a match that had already been feeding a TikTok trend built around players' signature celebrations.

Matheus Cunha and Brasil com S

The goal lined up with a trend that has been viral for weeks on TikTok using the song "Brasil com S" by DJ M4IA. The posts tie together celebrations associated with Neymar, Vini Jr. and Raphinha, turning individual gestures into a shared sequence rather than a one-player clip.

Éder Militão in the trend

One version of the trend also includes Éder Militão, even though he is not in the World Cup. In that clip, he makes the letter T with his arms in reference to Tainá Militão, which is why the trend has kept spreading beyond a simple match replay.

For readers following the same social-media thread, the key detail is the move itself: Matheus Cunha used the celebration that has already been circulating with the Brazil players' clips. The match gave that trend a fresh real-game moment, and it put his name at the center of the same sequence that has been building around the Seleção Brasileira for weeks.
