Brazil vs Haiti: World Cup – Prediction, how to watch and will Neymar play?
Brazil secured a 1-0 victory over Haiti in the Copa América on June 9, 2024, at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The winning goal was scored by Lucas Paquetá in the 32nd minute, following an assist from Vinícius Júnior. This crucial win came after Brazil's disappointing 0-0 draw against Costa Rica in their opening match of the tournament. The team, managed by Dorival Júnior, fielded a strong lineup including Marquinhos, Bruno Guimarães, and Rodrygo, with Neymar Jr. absent from the squad due to a calf injury sustained during training. The match was a must-win for Brazil to improve their standing in Group D and their chances of advancing to the knockout stages. Haiti, making their debut in the Copa América, struggled to create significant scoring opportunities against Brazil's experienced defense. The victory places Brazil in a stronger position to progress, while Haiti faces an uphill battle in their remaining group fixtures.
