World Cup 2026 leaderboard update: Brazil take Group C as Haiti and Türkiye exit
Brazil's 3-0 win over Haiti puts them top of Group C on goal difference, while Paraguay's 1-0 win over Türkiye pulls Group D's third-place race level and eliminates Türkiye. This update refreshes all 12 groups, the third-place lane, Golden Boot, assists, goalkeeper watch and player power ranking through 07:00 UTC on June 20.
Brazil did not need Neymar to change Group C. Matheus Cunha scored twice before halftime, Vinícius Júnior added the third, and Haiti became the first team knocked out of the 2026 World Cup. A few hours later, Paraguay survived a one-man disadvantage to beat Türkiye 1-0, which pushed Türkiye out as well and pulled Paraguay level with Australia in the Group D third-place fight. 1
Cutoff for this update: 07:00 UTC on June 20. ESPN's schedule had no June 20 daytime matches completed by that cutoff, with Netherlands vs. Sweden listed as the next fixture at 13:00. 2

Scoreboard since the last cutoff
| Match | Result | What changed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brazil vs. Haiti | Brazil 3-0 Haiti | Brazil moved to 4 points and a +3 goal difference in Group C; Haiti fell to 0 points and was eliminated. Matheus Cunha scored in the 23rd and 36th minutes, and Vinícius Júnior scored in first-half stoppage time. | 3 |
| Türkiye vs. Paraguay | Paraguay 1-0 Türkiye | Matías Galarza scored after 64 seconds. Paraguay finished with 10 men after Miguel Almirón's first-half red card, still held the clean sheet, and moved to 3 points; Türkiye stayed on 0 and was eliminated. | 4 |
Brazil's win matters more than the scoreline suggests. ESPN's match page lists Brazil at 4 points, level with Morocco, but with a +3 goal difference to Morocco's +1. That moves Brazil back above Morocco before the Brazil-Scotland and Morocco-Haiti doubleheader on June 24. 3
Paraguay's win was less comfortable than the standings line. ESPN's match page credits Türkiye with 2.12 expected goals, 78% possession, 32 total shots and five shots on target, while Paraguay had 0.32 xG, seven shots and two on target. Orlando Gill's five saves are the reason Paraguay is now in the third-place mix rather than eliminated with Türkiye. 4

| G | New Zealand, 1 pt | New Zealand 1; Iran 1; Belgium 1; Egypt 1 | Every team is on one point; goal output is the current sorting line. 5 |

Goalkeeper watch
Raúl Rangel is still the clean-sheet leader. FOX's goalkeeper table lists him on 2 clean sheets, 0 goals allowed and 180 minutes. Alisson's Haiti shutout moved him into the one-clean-sheet group, while Orlando Gill's five-save match against Türkiye is the new keeper performance of this update. 10
| Keeper | Team | Clean sheets | Goals allowed | Saves | Why he is on the watchlist |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raúl Rangel | Mexico | 2 | 0 | 3 | Only keeper listed with 2 clean sheets. 10 |
| Alisson | Brazil | 1 | 1 | 6 | Added a clean sheet against Haiti with three saves in the match page box score. 3 |
| Angus Gunn | Scotland | 1 | 1 | 3 | Still in the one-clean-sheet pack despite Scotland's loss to Morocco. 10 |
| Matt Freese | United States | 1 | 1 | 2 | The U.S. remains the only Group D team on 6 points. 10 |
| Orlando Gill | Paraguay | 1 | 4 | 9 | His five saves against Türkiye protected Paraguay's 1-0 lead after Almirón's red card. 4 |
Player power ranking
This ranking is performance-weighted, not an official award table. It favors players whose production changed a group table, a qualification path or a tournament leaderboard.
| Rank | Player | Case |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Matheus Cunha, Brazil | A first-half brace turned Brazil-Haiti into a 3-0 result and put Brazil top of Group C on goal difference. ESPN's stats report says Cunha became the first Brazilian man with a first-half World Cup brace since Neymar in 2014. 9 |
| 2 | Jonathan David, Canada | He still shares the tournament lead on 3 goals, and Canada leads Group B on goal difference. 7 |
| 3 | Lionel Messi, Argentina | Messi remains level with David on 3 goals from one appearance in FOX's goals table. 7 |
| 4 | Vinícius Júnior, Brazil | He scored Brazil's third against Haiti and is now in the 2-goal tier. ESPN's stats report also notes he became the 12th Brazilian man to score in each of the first two matches of a World Cup. 9 |
| 5 | Orlando Gill, Paraguay | The table says Paraguay won 1-0, but the match sheet says Türkiye generated 2.12 xG and five shots on target. Gill's five saves made the result hold. 4 |
| 6 | Raúl Rangel, Mexico | Two starts, two clean sheets, zero goals allowed. That is still the cleanest Golden Glove profile in the tournament. 10 |
Next matches to watch
The next completed-result swing should come from Group F and Group E. ESPN lists Netherlands vs. Sweden at 13:00, Germany vs. Ivory Coast at 16:00 and Ecuador vs. Curaçao at 20:00 on June 20. 2
Sweden can open a clear Group F gap by beating the Netherlands. Germany vs. Ivory Coast is a direct first-place match in Group E, and Ecuador vs. Curaçao is already close to must-win territory for both sides after opening losses. 5
