Brazil romp, Scotland stumble

Brazil took control of their destiny in Group C of the Fifa World Cup with a 3-0 victory over Haiti in Philadelphia that ended the Caribbean nation’s chances of reaching the last 32.

Two goals from Manchester United striker Matheus Cunha and a Vinicius Junior strike sealed a comfortable win for the Brazilians in a one-sided game at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.

The result ensured Haiti will finish bottom of Group C and are the first team to be eliminated from contention for a place in the knockout rounds.

Brazil’s victory though was marred by an apparent injury to star forward Raphinha, who left the game in the 40th minute after an innocuous-looking tussle with Haiti defender Martin Experience.

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti was unable to provide an update on Raphinha’s injury afterwards, instead preferring to praise his team’s “complete” performance.
