Vinicius Junior also scored in the first half and was the creator for both of Cunha's strikes before an apparent leg injury forced winger Raphinha off in the 40th minute.
Overall, it was a much-improved effort from the Selecao’s 1-1 draw against Morocco to open their tournament and a result that puts Brazil on four points above the Atlas Lions in Group C on goal difference.
Meanwhile, Morocco outmuscled Scotland for a 1-0 win thanks to the tournament's fastest goal on Friday, moving into 2nd spot with one match left to play. The North Africans were in complete control throughout, scoring the winner with Ismael Saibari after 71 seconds of play. Morocco now have four points from their two matches and will next play Haiti on Wednesday. Scotland, with three points from two games, face five-time champions Brazil on the last matchday. Earlier, the United States advanced to the World Cup knockout stage with a dominant performance against Australia, an early own goal and an Alex Freeman header giving the co-hosts a comfortable 2-0 win. The US moved on to six points and into the last 32 before their last game against Turkey on Thursday in Los Angeles.
