Brazil’s forward Vinícius Jr. was named the man of the match in their 3-0 victory over Haiti, a game in which he also found the back of the net.
This accolade marks the second consecutive match in which the Real Madrid star has earned man of the match honors, having previously been recognized for his performance against Morocco in the tournament’s opening round.
Notably, Mateus Cunha, who scored twice in the same game, received a Sofascore rating of 9.2. This stands as the second-highest rating ever awarded to a Brazilian player in the 21st century at World Cup tournaments. Despite this impressive score, it wasn’t enough to surpass Vinícius Jr. in the eyes of the judges.
Interestingly, Vinícius chose not to perform his signature goal celebration dance this time but promised to make up for it in the next match.
