Marquinhos captained Brazil to a 3-0 win over Haiti at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday 20 June, giving the Paris Saint-Germain defender a timely World Cup lift before a decisive Group C meeting with Scotland.
PSG confirmed the result in their official round-up, noting that Brazil needed points after a 1-1 draw with Morocco on Matchday 1. Carlo Ancelotti’s side settled the contest before half-time, with Matheus Cunha scoring twice before Vinicius Junior added the third in stoppage time.
Marquinhos keeps Brazil moving after Morocco draw
The key PSG angle is not just the scoreline. Marquinhos started as captain in a Brazil back four with Danilo, Gabriel and Douglas Santos, giving the Paris captain another full-pressure tournament assignment after a demanding club season.
Brazil’s goals came from Cunha in the 23rd and 36th minutes, then Vinicius Junior in the 45th minute plus three, according to PSG’s official match report. The win moves Brazil closer to qualification, but their final group game against Scotland on 25 June in Miami now carries the larger consequence.
For ReadPSG readers, the takeaway is clear: Marquinhos remains central for club and country, and Brazil’s clean sheet keeps his tournament on track while PSG’s international group continues to shape the summer narrative. That status still matters.
