Overview
- Brazil defeated Haiti 3-0 on Saturday with Matheus Cunha scoring twice and Vinicius Junior adding a first-half goal.
- Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes played the full 90 minutes and helped Brazil record their first clean sheet of the tournament.
- Match stats reported by club outlets showed Magalhaes completed more than 95% of his passes from a near team-high 81 attempts and won a team-high four aerial duels with a WhoScored rating of 7.24.
- Gabriel Martinelli made his tournament debut as a 64th-minute substitute, struck the crossbar in a lively cameo and drew mixed reactions from Brazilian fans over his ongoing inconsistency.
- The victory leaves Brazil top of the group on goal difference with four points and means a draw in Miami against Scotland would likely secure progression to the knockout rounds, while the performances could influence Ancelotti’s selection decisions.
