Matheus Cunha Leads Brazil to 3-0 Win in Brazil Vs Haiti National Football Team Selections Rankings

Brazil vs Haiti national football team selections rankings ended with Brazil’s attack delivering a 3-0 win on June 19, driven by Matheus Cunha’s two goals and Vini Jr.’s finish. The result pushed Brazil to the top of Group C in the Copa do Mundo and left Raphinha’s injury as the main concern after a comfortable scoreline.

Matheus Cunha Sets The Pace

Brazil needed 22 minutes to break Haiti down, and Cunha opened the scoring after a slow start that only turned after about 20 minutes. He struck again at 35 minutes, giving Brazil control before halftime and turning the match into a one-sided chase for Haiti.

Vini Jr. added the third goal at 47 minutes of the first half, finishing a stretch in which Brazil found space as Haiti pushed forward. Those three first-half goals did the damage, and they came after Brazil had been patient rather than rushed in the opening phase.

Raphinha Leaves Early

Raphinha’s night changed near the end of the first half, when he left injured and Rayan came on in his place. Before that, he had already seen a goal ruled offside at 11 minutes, a warning that Brazil had begun to find openings even before the scoreline moved.

After the break, Carlo Ancelotti’s side used a more offensive setup with Vini Jr., Rayan, Gabriel Martinelli, and Endrick in attack. Endrick found the net at 32 minutes of the second half, but the goal was ruled offside, a reminder that Brazil’s pressure stayed high even when the scoreboard did not move again.

Group C Turns To Brazil

The win left Brazil in the lead in Group C, which is the practical change that matters most from the night. For now, the attack looks settled around Cunha and Vini Jr., while the injury to Raphinha sends the focus to how Brazil handles the next step without knowing how much he can give in the short term.

Brazil’s next match is against Escócia in Miami on the next Wednesday at 19h, and the coaching staff has one immediate issue to sort out before then: whether the same attacking shape that broke Haiti apart can work if Raphinha is not available.
