Matheus Cunha delivered a commanding performance, scoring twice as Brazil swept aside Haiti with a 3-0 victory to send a clear message ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

The Manchester United forward was the standout figure on the night, spearheading a dominant Brazilian display that left no doubt about the outcome from early in the contest.

The result also carried historic weight for Haiti — they became the first team to be officially eliminated from the 2026 World Cup, an unwanted milestone that underlines the gulf between the two nations at this stage of qualifying.

Brazil, by contrast, produced a performance befitting one of the tournament's perennial favourites, controlling the match with authority and ruthlessness in front of goal.

Cunha, who has been in fine form for Manchester United, carried that momentum into international duty and capped a polished evening with his two-goal contribution at the heart of Brazil's attacking display.
