Brazil defeated Haiti 3-0 in Philadelphia, with two goals from Matheus Cunha and one from Vinicius Junior, eliminating Haiti from the Fifa World Cup. The victory, however, was overshadowed by an apparent injury to Brazil's star forward Raphinha. Brazil is now level on four points with Morocco in Group C, leading on goal difference. Morocco secured their first tournament win by beating Scotland 1-0, with Ismael Saibari scoring the sole goal. Morocco will play Haiti next, while Brazil will face Scotland. In other World Cup news, the United States advanced to the last 32 after a 2-0 victory over Australia in Seattle, with a Cameron Burgess own goal and a header from Alex Freeman. Paraguay also remains in contention after a 1-0 win against Turkey, a game in which Miguel Almiron received a red card for covering his mouth while confronting an opponent, under new FIFA rules.
