2026 World Cup Key News

(Taipei, June 20, 2026, CNA, Foreign News) Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha scored twice today, helping Brazil to a 3-0 victory over Haiti, injecting vitality into their World Cup journey and moving a step closer to advancing to the top 32.

According to AFP, after being criticized for a 1-1 draw with Morocco in their opening match, Brazil, five-time World Cup champions, fought bravely today, demonstrating the vast difference in strength between them and Haiti, who became the first nation eliminated from this World Cup.

Cunha's goal in a scramble in front of Philadelphia's goal gave Brazil the lead midway through the first half, and he scored again to help Carlo Ancelotti's team dominate the match. Before halftime, Vinicius Junior added another goal to extend the score to 3-0.

Brazil will face Scotland in Miami on the 24th in their final Group C match. Haiti's World Cup debut, their first appearance since 1974, will conclude after their match against Morocco in Atlanta.

Brazil currently leads Morocco in goal difference, temporarily holding the top spot in the group. If they finish first, they will face the second-placed team in Group F in the next round, which could be the Netherlands, Japan, or Sweden. (Compiled by Chang Hsiao-wen) 1150620
