Brazil dispatched Haiti 3–0 in their FIFA World Cup Group C opener, controlling proceedings with 57% possession and five shots on target from eight attempts. The Seleção's 4–3–3 setup proved tactically dominant against Haiti's defensive 5–4–1 formation, limiting the Caribbean side to just 0.23 xG across seven shots. Brazil's goalkeeper made light work of the contest, saving all three shots faced and recording a perfect 100% save percentage, while Haiti's custodian struggled with a 40% save rate against five on-target efforts. The gulf in expected goals—Brazil's 1.56 to Haiti's 0.23—underscores the visitors' inability to generate meaningful chances despite their compact shape. Haiti's five-defender setup offered little attacking threat, with their goalkeeper conceding 2.31 xG and losing 0.69 goals above expected performance. The clean sheet and three-goal margin positions Brazil as early Group C favourites.
