Brazil defeated Haiti 3–0 at Philadelphia Stadium to move top of Group C on goal difference. Matheus Cunha tapped in from Vinícius Júnior's saved effort in the 23rd minute and smashed in a second from the winger's through ball on 36 minutes, before Vinícius slid in Lucas Paquetá's pass in the third minute of stoppage time to seal a dominant first half.

Carlo Ancelotti started Cunha ahead of Igor Thiago after the 1–1 draw with Morocco, and Brazil kept a clean sheet despite Raphinha going off with a hamstring injury in the 40th minute. Vinícius Júnior was named Michelob Ultra Superior Player of the Match as the Seleção finished with 57% possession, eight shots and five on target in front of 68,324 fans.

Haiti became the first team eliminated from the tournament with zero points and a −4 goal difference. Brazil and Morocco are level on four points ahead of Scotland's decisive meeting with the Seleção in Miami on 24 June, while Morocco face Haiti in Atlanta on the same evening.
