Haiti's problems started almost immediately when Arcus went into the book at 3'. Brazil then turned pressure into a breakthrough at 23', with Cunha opening the scoring. The forward doubled his tally at 36', finishing again with Vinicius Junior credited with the assist.
Brazil's first-half rhythm was briefly disrupted when Raphinha was forced off at 39', replaced by Rayan. Any momentum Haiti hoped to gain disappeared at 45', as Vinicius Junior made it 3-0 after a Paqueta assist. Pierrot also picked up a 45' yellow, and Haiti made two half-time changes, introducing Dominique Simon and Wilson Isidor.
The second half brought more reshuffling than highlights: Casimir went off for Louicius Deedson at 62', while Brazil introduced Gabriel Martinelli and Endrick at 63'. Douglas Santos was booked at 64', and Haiti collected another caution through Danley Jean Jacques at 71'.
The post-match stats underlined Brazil's control - 57% possession and 479 successful passes - while the summary also noted Brazil caught Haiti offside 8 times. Next up, Scotland vs Brazil and Morocco vs Haiti.
