Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti’s side responded well to their limp draw with Morocco in the first game by comfortably beating Haiti 3-0.
Matheus Cunha‘s brace and Vinícius Júnior‘s third meant Brazil had the game won by halftime, and saw Haiti become the first team to be eliminated from this year’s World Cup.
In Group D, Miguel Almirón became the first player to be sent off for covering his mouth while talking to an opposition player.
Mert Müldür was the player in question, as the two exchanged words following a foul in first-half stoppage time.
Despite the red card, Paraguay held on to beat Türkiye 1-0 and knock Vincenzo Montella’s side — who have not yet scored a goal from 62 attempts — out of the World Cup.
The result also saw the United States win Group D after they had already beaten Australia 2-0 in Friday’s first game, courtesy of an own goal from Cameron Burgess and a header from Alex Freeman.
More big-hitters are back in action on Saturday as the Netherlands, Germany and Japan all play their second games at the tournament.
