Brazil Leads Haiti 1-0 in FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier

Philadelphia. In the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group 'C' match currently underway at Philadelphia Stadium, Brazil has taken a 1-0 lead against Haiti. Brazil is ahead as of the 27th minute of the game.

Matheus Cunha scored for Brazil in the 23rd minute. After Haiti's goalkeeper saved Vinicius Junior's shot, the ball went towards Cunha from the feet of Haiti's defender Hans Delcroix. The ball then found the net, giving Brazil the lead in the game. The goal has been credited to Cunha, although there was initial discussion about it possibly being an own goal.

After the goal, the game was temporarily stopped to give players a hydration break.

In this group, Morocco had previously climbed to the top spot after defeating Scotland 1-0. Brazil, who drew with Morocco in their first match, needs a win to strengthen their chances of reaching the knockout stage, while Haiti is struggling to avoid a second consecutive loss.
