Brazil shifted through the gears in Philadelphia, a comfortable 3–0 over Haiti restoring order after their opening-day stalemate with Morocco.

Brazil's 1.75 xG to Haiti's 0.23 mirrors a one-sided result that was effectively decided in the first half, where Brazil took six of their eight shots and converted three big chances before the break (Cunha 23', 36', Vinícius 45+3'). The modest 57-43 possession edge undersells the dominance: Ancelotti's side did not concede a single first-half shot, their best World Cup showing in that respect since 1990, and only relaxed after the contest was won. Haiti's 0.23 xG and three shots on target — most arriving in a tidier second half — never threatened Alisson, who needed just three saves. With low foul counts on both sides (13 vs 14) and no reds, this was a controlled, comfortable win in which the scoreline slightly flattered the underdog given how few clear looks they manufactured.
