Brazil got their first victory of 2026 FIFA World Cup against Hiati on Friday, June 18. Cunha scored first two goals followed by Vini Junior who scored one goal and assisted in another. As Brazilians appear to regain their form, it has raised the alarms for other World Cup teams.
Mattheus Cunha marked his arrival in Brazil's starting XI by scoring two goals in first half, the second goal of them with what football fans described as an iconic finish to extend the lead. Just when everyone thought it's all for the day Vinicius Junior sealed the day with scoring the third goal for Brazil and silencing his doubters.
The scoresheet would've been different, if substitute Endrick goal was not denied by the assistant referee. However, it still marks the great job done by Brazilian team, which are looking to be in great form and are one of the favourites for the 2026 world cup.
One major blow to Brazil in this match, was the unexpected injury of Raphinha. This appears to be a major setback for the team as Raphina was inform for Barcelona and was expected to perform well in at the global football showdown.
Haiti becomes the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup. As for Brazil they will be playing their final game of Group C against Scotland.
