00:10It's Brazil's oldest starting 11 at a FIFA World Cup match since the 1962 final as Deidson drops to the
00:18bench.
00:19The keeper and captain Basid conceded seven against Brazil.
00:28Two countries whose deep ties center around the beautiful game.
00:33One in Brazil.
00:35The overwhelming favorites tonight, but this is the World Cup.
00:38And I think maybe this World Cup, they're starting slow and hopefully they can build into something.
00:52What can they build on the Brazilian right?
00:56It's deflected away.
00:58It'll be a quick throw.
01:00How they got it out.
01:09Gabriel, he was under a little bit of pressure, but he finds Douglas Santos.
01:18Well, they've got the free kick.
01:27Paquetar's presence out there is certainly the interesting selection.
01:32Brazilian media generally pilloried his performance at the weekend.
01:36They were not impressed.
01:38Well, Angelotti acknowledged it.
01:39He admitted it wasn't one of his better ones, but he keeps faith in him tonight.
01:43Here they are, in behind and into the next.
01:46Brazil has scored.
01:47Raffino with the breakthrough.
01:50The goal that wasn't.
01:51And this is why.
02:01Certainly tight.
02:05Vinny Jr. more central.
02:07Now he takes it wide.
02:10And that shot is saved.
02:12And on the follow-up, it's going to go into the Haiti net.
02:15It's going to go down as an own goal.
02:17But Brazil has scored.
02:19Just before the midway point of the first half of the Philadelphia Stadium.
02:27Cunha is taking the plaudits.
02:33And it's a Brazilian breakthrough.
02:49And here's Vinny Jr. stepping into the box.
02:53Cutting inside.
02:54Going for the far post.
02:55And on the rebound, Cunha is right there.
02:58But the defender.
03:10Piro not only controls it, but he's having himself with some time as well.
03:15Balagard.
03:15Over to the far side.
03:19They can swing the cross in.
03:20And that's the kind of moments where they have to produce a bit of quality.
03:26Good hold-up play from Piro.
03:29Brings it into midfield.
03:30Switches it to the opposite side.
03:32And as they're getting numbers into the box, they just need them.
03:34They need much better service.
03:48As we expected, Brazil seeing the majority of the ball.
04:14It was Casimir who was in there.
04:17And they've managed to force their way to their first corner.
04:27Very good reaction from Haiti.
04:29Getting numbers forward.
04:32Making a connection from left side.
04:42Balagard to take it.
04:51Marcos forces way down the line to get it back in.
04:55He can't.
05:04The omen's generally pretty good when Brazil score first in a World Cup match.
05:10They've lost just three of the 71 matches in which they have scored the opening goal.
05:20Not sure what percentage that is, but it sounds pretty good.
05:23It's high.
05:24They lost two under the Netherlands in the 2010 quarterfinal.
05:29By Norway in 1998 group stage.
05:33And infamously, of course, Uruguay.
05:361950.
05:37In the final round.
05:39But the result that really shook Brazilian football to its core.
06:09And this is smart from Brazil here.
06:11Allowing Haiti to have the ball more in the back.
06:15Maybe to find the space behind on the counter.
06:18It's a counter that starts now for Brazil.
06:21Benicio Cunha slips it through.
06:24And then it's fired into the roof of the net.
06:29There's no doubt this time.
06:32Cunha has the goal.
06:34Brazil have two.
06:36Brazil.
06:40Brazil.
07:07called into the starting 11 and responding
07:11and we were just saying how smart it was for Brazil to pull out Haiti a little bit more
07:17so that they could find the space behind a good recovery
07:22Luis Dietzen, another of the players who plays his football in this country
07:26with FC Dallas of Major League Soccer
07:29who's the other to drop out but he can bring some pace
07:34and threat to the attack
07:35but of course the question's going to be really Brazil are going to be coming out this second half
07:39and thinking right how many more goals can we get tonight
07:43most of the fans I spoke to were looking at they wanted a minimum five from their team this evening
07:51well it likely will make a difference
07:53right Morocco will beat Scotland
07:57they play this Haiti team next
08:02Vinny Jr
08:04cutting back
08:06Ryan's in the middle
08:07other numbers joining as well
08:09experience was there with the header away
08:23and to expand on my points of you know if both Brazil and Morocco end up winning both of their
08:28games
08:29they tied each other
08:30which means the tiebreaker there then goes to goals
08:33so goals will be important
08:35so surely Brazil is not going to take the foot off the gas going into the second half
08:46now they have navigated one key part of the game which was to just break that early resolve
08:52that we knew we would see from Haiti and then try and push on
09:04and again
09:05Haiti
09:06caught flat
09:07Vinny Jr's in
09:09Brazil has three
09:23they're starting to samba in Philadelphia
09:26and Vinny Jr has his second goal of this FIFA World Cup
09:46and once again we see this play develop in midfield
09:49Paketa turns
09:50sees all that big space behind
09:52that line is so high
09:54and of course
09:55Vinny Jr takes advantage
09:56and tucks it right under the goalkeeper
10:11they really want the halftime whistle you sense that's a good step
10:17Balagal can bring it away
10:20they're trying to get the run in as well and ultimately it's swept away by Marquinhos
10:40Delagard
10:41Pirro
10:42trying to turn
10:43feels his shirt was tugged a little bit there
10:46and from our vantage point I can see his argument
11:0624 years since we've seen Brazil score three in the first half of a World Cup match
11:20and the whistle goes for halftime. Jose Cunha has a brace
11:32and the second half is underway from the Philadelphia Stadium. We had an extraordinary
11:36light show at halftime. The Brazilian fans have really started the party and their side are three
11:43up going into this second half and they have the thirst and the appetite for more I'm sure.
12:00Brace from Matthias Cunha added to by Vinnie Jr. in stoppage time.
12:10Haiti have made two changes as well at the break. Pirro the striker has gone off
12:17and Sunderland's Wilson Isidore is on and Dominic Simon has come on to replace Harland Zarkas
12:26who is the one player who puts a bit more pressure on the ball and maybe that'll even out the
12:31game.
12:36It's Isidore with a foray forwards and he tries to get a shot away but it's blocked twice.
12:46Brinja slipped it inside.
12:50We're looking for Donhito's run all the way up from right back.
13:01It seemed like Vinicius was open on the opposite side and they couldn't find him.
13:21We've hit the hour mark in Philadelphia.
13:26Nardyards are continuing for Haiti.
13:31Ryan.
13:34Not too much of it.
13:37To see more.
13:40The free kick.
14:01Casimir making the run in behind.
14:15All changes being planned on the touchline at the moment.
14:18This is Provodos for Haiti.
14:29Bellegarde.
14:31Driving run.
14:33And he wins the corner.
14:40There's been a lot of excitement around us from these Brazilian supporters.
14:45And part of that reason is because Endric there on the left is due to come on.
14:52There's quite a lobby now that want to see him.
14:55The Brazil starting 11.
14:57Casimir is coming off and Luizias Dietzen of FC Dallas will come into the game.
15:07And the Brazil going to make their changes now.
15:09Are they going to wait for the Haiti corner?
15:25And they go off at the corner.
15:26Near post.
15:27It's flicked on.
15:28And they cleared it away from just a yard off the line.
15:31Haiti was so close.
15:33Excellent in swinging corner.
15:36Ade wins the header.
15:39Good reaction from Allison under the post.
15:47With both hands.
15:51And Danilo clears it right off the line.
15:55Less time on the ball to be able to play.
16:11Well, Bargaard gets the free kick.
16:13And this does give Haiti the opportunity to try and do something from set pieces.
16:18And they've shown they've got a threat there.
16:20You turn the likes of Ade up front to join Interdor.
16:28Dietzen hovering on the edge of the penalty area.
16:30He's the good delivery though.
16:34Headed away first time.
16:36And Martinelli.
16:58Well, if they see this out, Brazil, you know, they'll say it was all down to the fact that they
17:02kept the Rocky statue intact.
17:06No draping of shirts over it.
17:08In the Ecuador's cost last week.
17:14And here's the substitute to fire it wide.
17:17That was Dominic Simon.
17:36Total serve 68,324 here at the Philadelphia stadium tonight.
17:49Not just a game, an occasion for sure, Tab, that we've been witness to here.
17:53But yeah, this has been two great fan bases.
17:58Obviously, the Brazil have pretty much taken over the stadium.
18:02But I have to tell you, I'm really surprised that the Haiti fans could be a chance for another one.
18:08And it is over the top.
18:12Well, Douglas Santos, 32 year old, has not scored for his country.
18:20And Douglas Santos is going to have a chance.
18:22Not sure he's going to get a better one in this game, but he should have put that one away.
18:27The player rejuvenated by Carlo Ancelotti said that the managers had a lot of conversations with him.
18:33They watched him carefully.
18:38Thanks for Zenit in Petersburg.
18:51There's experience.
18:53I give him a lot of credit.
18:54He makes a great effort.
18:55He's up and down the whole game.
18:59Leaves everything on the field.
19:00You know, we talked a little bit at halftime about how, you know, there were only 40 final third entries
19:07for for Haiti.
19:09Just to give an idea in the first game, experience at 37, just by himself against Scotland.
19:15Yeah, that's quite a stat, isn't it?
19:17I mean, it goes to show just territorially how they were pushed back.
19:25Not altogether, surprisingly, either.
19:30Brian.
19:31And here's the goal when they want it.
19:40It's Hendrik, but it's also offside.
19:55They won the World Cup with England, Bobby Charlton.
19:58I mean, that is digging back into the archives, but...
20:03Here we go.
20:16Talking of archives, of course, we can't let the night go without...
20:20...reminding our audience, Tab.
20:22...1994 World Cup here in this country.
20:25You were part of the US team.
20:26You played in three World Cups, of course, in total.
20:29And you came up against Brazil.
20:31It was a painful experience in more ways than one.
20:33You were taken out of the game, unfortunately.
20:35But you came up against a Brazilian team that would go on and win the competition.
20:42Yeah, round of 16, we ended up coming out of the group and drawing Brazil.
20:48Brazil, obviously, the favourites to win that World Cup.
20:52We met them and had the unfortunate injury in, you know, 40th minute of the game.
21:04Final five minutes plus added time to follow.
21:07And Brazil, as they were at half-time, leading by three goals to nil here at the Philadelphia
21:13Stadium on a balmy Friday night under the lights.
21:39Brazil will head to Miami, where I'm sure their support will be nothing short of extraordinary.
21:49And so will that of the Scots.
21:54Beaten today by Morocco, who will face Haiti in Atlanta next Wednesday, under the roof.
22:11And Scotland is not in a bad place at this point.
22:15They have three points from the first match, only conceded once today.
22:24All the host nations will be happy, won't they?
22:26They've made terrific starts.
22:28It's been an excellent start for all three of them.
22:31In particular for the U.S. team.
22:35U.S. team currently in first place, so is Mexico.
22:43Good break, and a good chance, which is foiled as Isidore made the run into the box.
22:50Allison there to block it, and it'll be a corner.
23:01Short from Dietzen, room for Etienne.
23:08Kino's got a touch.
23:28They're a harsh bunch now, the Brazilians, aren't they, about their team and their performance at World Cups.
23:323-0 up at half-time.
23:34I wonder if some of them are going to be saying they should have done more in the second half.
23:37There should have been more goals.
23:38It's still only 3-0.
23:39Do we give all the credit to Haiti for that, or do we say, you know,
23:42maybe Brazil should have shown us a bit more with the game safe effectively going into the second half?
23:47I think it has to be shared here.
23:49I thought Haiti's tactical arrangement was a little bit better in the second half.
23:59They put more players into midfield and into attack that forced Brazil to defend a bit more.
24:05And on Brazil's side, as we said, beginning of the second half, if you're on Celote, you want to keep
24:10up the speed of play.
24:11That's what builds the confidence in the team.
24:13And this team, if they're going to do well at this tournament, they're going to need to continue to build
24:18their confidence.
24:19Because they certainly have the players to compete for the World Cup and to be one of the contenders in
24:25the end.
24:36The status of Rafinha is going to be interesting because they're still without Neymar.
24:40The question marks over when, if he will enter this tournament.
24:45I noted yesterday, the news came out that Neymar wouldn't even travel.
24:49Carlo Ancelotti wasn't even asked about him at the press conference, and of course there were a lot of questions.
24:58Etienne.
25:08Etienne over there to help him out, Etienne will get it back.
25:12And now the flag is up.
25:20Existing referees have been busy tonight.
25:25Group C winner plays second in Group F.
25:29Now here's Danilo Santos.
25:31They've laid it up.
25:32Marta Ali all the way across, and they can't finish.
25:40And another substitute, Edison Silva.
25:46The Group F sides, Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia.
25:51You finish second in the Group, and you face a trip
25:55to Monterey where you'll play the winner of Group F.
26:00You win, you'll go down to Houston, Texas.
26:04But be indoors, of course.
26:11There's then one more for Brazil.
26:14They've got the space.
26:16Marta Ali, they're on their feet around us.
26:19They want the grounding moment, and that's some good nation defense.
26:24Del Croix.
26:29Five minutes of added time.
26:40So all that to say, Tab, you know, they might look back on this
26:43and say three really wasn't enough on the night.
26:46Particularly given they got three in the first half.
26:49And they've still got hopes at the other end of getting something,
26:53Haiti.
26:53This is Derek Etienne, Jr.
27:00Simon, Allison, equal to the task.
27:09Quick transition moment for Haiti finding Etienne wide.
27:13He has made a difference since he's come in the game.
27:25There is the corner, deflected towards the back post as well,
27:29and there's an offside flag up.
27:33Against Duvern, I think it was.
27:3890 seconds left of added time.
27:42Ade was up there as well.
27:51Brazil maintaining a very good record against teams from the CONCACAF region.
27:55Kept eight clean sheets in nine matches.
27:59It's only Costa Rica, the exception, conceded to in a 5-2 group stage win.
28:0720-22.
28:08The victory is over Costa Rica.
28:25We mentioned scoring three in the first half.
28:28Brazil is the first time they've done that in a group stage match since 2002.
28:32Costa Rica have a 5-2 victory on that occasion.
28:46Brazil has done enough and they're seeing it out.
28:53Brazil has done enough and they're seeing it out.
29:03Brazil has done enough and they're seeing it out.
29:07Brazil has done enough and they're seeing it out.
29:09At half time they might have feared the worst Haiti.
29:1252 years ago today they were beaten 7-0 by Poland at the 1974 World Cup.
29:18Well this has been a better second half display.
29:21Can they cap it with a goal?
29:27It's cleared away.
29:28It's all over.
29:30Brazil back to winning ways.
29:34A brave effort from Haiti but not enough.
29:36All the goals before half time.
29:38Vini Jr capping it.
29:40The nomineesая the novels.
29:46The voters have the votes for a chances of losing their heads.ồi
29:59in the future. Brazil
