Vinicius Junior scored Brazil’s third goal in their 2026 World Cup match against Haiti, demonstrating his significance in the team amid injuries to key players. The goal came in the third minute of first-half stoppage time, following a precise assist from Lucas Paquetá, with Vinicius powering the ball past the Haitian goalkeeper, bringing the score to 3-0.
This goal marks Vinicius’ second of the tournament, having previously found the net in Brazil’s draw against Morocco. His contributions have become increasingly vital as the team navigates current challenges.
Brazil displayed a commanding performance in the first half against Haiti, with Matheus Cunha scoring twice early on before Vinicius added to the tally. The Seleção faces a critical moment with Neymar sidelined and Raphinha exiting the game due to injury, making Vinicius a key figure in their attacking strategy.
Earlier, Raphinha was forced off due to injury, with Ryan coming on to replace him.
