Cunha bags two as Brazil roll Haiti 3–0
Matheus Cunha turned up at the World Cup on Friday. Two first-half goals in Brazil's 3–0 win over Haiti, and your forward could not have timed it better (2) (3) (6).

Noussair Mazraoui is getting the kind of praise that was scarce earlier in his career. Ibrahim Afellay and Kenneth Perez both singled out the United full-back for his development at the club, with Afellay saying Mazraoui "has never received the appreciation he deserves" (9).
