Brazil defeated Haiti 3-0 in a World Cup group stage match on Friday night, eliminating Haiti from the competition.

The match took place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia before a crowd of 68,324 spectators.

Forward Matheus Cunha scored two goals, while Vinícius Júnior added another to secure the win for the five-time champions.

Cunha's Brace Seals Victory

Cunha started the match after being used as a late substitute in Brazil's previous 1-1 draw against Morocco.

He opened the scoring by converting a rebound from a Vinícius Júnior shot.

Cunha later doubled the lead in the first half with a left-footed strike into the upper corner after receiving a pass through the defense from Vinícius Júnior.

Vinícius Júnior scored the final goal of the first half to seal the win.

Brazil played without Neymar due to a persistent calf injury.

Haiti's First World Cup Since 1974

Haiti was making its first tournament appearance since 1974.

With the loss, Haiti became the first team mathematically eliminated from the World Cup.

Brazil will conclude its Group C matches against Scotland on Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Forward Raphinha awaits evaluation after exiting early with a first-half injury.
