Job done for Brazil. Matheus Cunha's double and Vinicius Junior's strike earn them a routine victory over Haiti.
Carlo Ancelotti's team top Group C on goal difference ahead of their clash with Scotland in Miami — Haiti, who improved in the second half, are the first nation to be eliminated from the 2026 World Cup.
Defeat for Scotland, who gave a good account of themselves against Morocco but were undone by Ismael Saibari's excellent strike after 71 seconds.

Morocco are all but through to the last 32 with four points.
