Cunha let somebody else Score, Brazil?

 31/104ths of the World Cup

  

  

Brazil were disappointed with their draw against Morocco. Haiti were equally disappointed with their narrow loss to Scotland. Neither side was locked into the Round of 32, but both were looking to make history. The two sides have met three previous times. Twice in friendlies, and again in the 2016 Copa America. Haiti have been outscored 17-1 in those matches. Brazil would win on the scoreboard with goals from Matheus Cunha in the 23rd and 36th minutes. Vinicius Junior would add a third goal in the 3rd minute of stoppage time of the first half. The action would commence in the second half, but neither side could find the back of the net. For Haiti, this was their best result against Brazil. They took almost as many shots as Brazil (6 to 7), and found the target on about an equal amount (2 to 4). Unfortunately, Haiti were not as clinical with their finishing as Brazil, and find themselves with the most dubious title of first team eliminated from the World Cup. Brazil sit with 4 points along with Morocco, and finish their Group Stage against Scotland with the hope of winning Group C.
