Cunha secured his brace in the 36’ with a powerful hit from the left end of the box, before Vinícius Júnior added a third for Brazil in stoppage time in the 45’+3’.

Haiti’s clearest chance to shorten the deficit came through a corner kick opportunity in the 63’, with a header from Ricardo Adé at the near post ultimately being saved by Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
