Haiti become first team to be eliminated from World Cup after loss to Brazil

3 min readJun 20, 2026 08:48 AM IST After the 3-0 thrashing by Brazil on Saturday, Haiti officially became the first team to be eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Haiti lost 1-0 in their opening match against Scotland and after the defeat against Brazil, they are on 0 points from 2 matches. They play their last match against Morocco and even if they pull off an upset, they can only reach a maximum of 3 points which wouldn’t be enough for them to qualify as a best third placed team as well. In the match, Brazil forward Matheus Cunha rewarded manager Carlo Ancelotti’s backing with his first two goals at a World Cup as the five-times champions cruised to a 3-0 victory over Haiti. Vinicius Junior also scored in the first half and was the creator for both of Cunha’s strikes before an apparent leg ⁠injury ​forced winger Raphinha off in the 40th minute. Overall, it was a much-improved effort from the Selecao’s 1-1 draw against Morocco to open their tournament and a …

The Selecao looked hapless in the first half of their World cup clash with Morocco, conceding first in the 21st minute from a Saibari finish. Vinicius equalised in the 32nd ⁠minute to save the 5-time world champion’s blushes. Brazil improved in the second half but were still unable to break through the Africa nation’s low block, ultimately ending up sharing the spoils. “We did not play well: a few challenges, ‌a very imbalanced team, we lost several balls and I think we have to do better in that sense. I am not disappointed by this result and ​I’m not satisfied either Ancelotti said after the match. Morocco made the brighter start, patiently working the ball down the flanks and posing an early threat through Achraf Hakimi and Bilal El Khannouss …

Xabi Alonso will hope to bid farewell to Bayern Leverkusen with another record to add to his cap with the 2023/24 league champions hoping to defeat Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga final which would be their 34th away game in a row without defeat, a streak that has lasted over 2 seasons. If they can manage that on Saturday, they will break Bayern Munich’s league record of 33 away league games without a loss. “Yes, in terms of football goals, for sure. It is very, very meaningful if we reach it. To have two whole seasons without an away defeat is special but it is not going to be easy. But we want to try until the last day. We had enough time to say farewell so we want to end with a good feeling for all,” Alonso said. The Spaniard led Leverkusen to an undefeated domestic league and Cup double last season and in the current campaign they have remained unbeaten on the road. They will, however, finish in second place behind champions Bayern. …
