Ancelotti called for unity as Brazil prepares for its next match against Haiti in Philadelphia on June 19.

"Yesterday [Saturday], we took our first step at the World Cup. And we did it with the joy and pride of representing Brazil," the Italian said in a social media post.

"It's only the beginning. We'll keep working and looking ahead. Let's move forward together!"

Five-time champion Brazil is second in the group alongside Morocco, two points behind leader Scotland and one ahead of Haiti.

The top two teams from each group will automatically advance to the round of 32, joined by the eight best third-placed teams across the 12 groups.
