In Philadelphia, Brazil rolled past Haiti 3‑0, with Matheus Cunha scoring twice and Vinicius Jr adding a strike before half‑time. The win gave the Seleção a first clean sheet and four points from two games. Yet the second half was flat, with no shots on target.

The victory sparked a wave of yellow‑clad fans in the city, while the mood shifted when head coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted the side “didn’t play to their full potential.” He highlighted Cunha’s role as a threat and noted Vinicius’s six goal involvements in six World Cup appearances. The coach also confirmed Neymar will be available for the next match.

Ancelotti’s comments came after a 1‑1 draw with Morocco, leaving Brazil needing a win against Scotland to top Group C. He said the focus is on improvement, not elimination. Critics question Neymar’s inclusion, but the coach stresses the player’s experience.

Brazil now faces Scotland in Miami, with a group‑top finish seen as vital for future confidence. The team must tighten defense to avoid the second‑half collapse seen in Philadelphia.
