In the long arc of football's grandest stage, Brazil arrived in Group C carrying the quiet anxiety of a champion who had not yet looked like one. Against Haiti on Saturday, they shed that uncertainty with a first-half performance of such authority that the result — a 3-0 victory — felt less like a contest than a reckoning. Matheus Cunha scored twice and Vinícius Júnior added a third before halftime, lifting Brazil to the top of their group while ending Haiti's tournament hopes, though not without a cost in the form of an injury to Raphinha that may yet shape what comes next.
