Brazil beat Haiti 3-0 in the World Cup when Matheus Cunha struck twice and Vinicius Jr. scored another first-half goal to put the five-time champions top of Group C with four points and eliminate their opponents on Friday.
Morocco are level on points with the Brazilians after their earlier 1-0 win over Scotland, who have three, while Haiti are bottom with zero and became the first team not to qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament.
Brazil took control in the 23rd minute when Vinicius’ shot was parried by Johny Placide and Hannes Delcroix’s attempt deflected off Cunha and over the line. Cunha doubled the lead in the 36th, racing clear to fire into the top corner after a fine through ball from Vinicius.
Vinicius made it 3-0 in extra time of the first half, ran through Lucas Paqueta’s long pass and finished calmly. Brazil settled into the break after the break, with goalkeeper Alisson rarely in trouble as Carlo Ancelotti’s side eased to victory.
