Morocco struck first in the 20th minute through a brilliant counter-attack. Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz turned the provider with a perfectly weighted through ball to Ismael Saibari, who showed incredible composure to first see off the last line of defense Gabriel before chipping the ball over an advancing Alisson Becker.
However, Morocco’s lead lasted just 11 minutes before Brazil found their equalizer through sheer individual brilliance. Vinicius Junior collected a pass from Bruno Guimaraes on the left flank, cut sharply inside onto his right foot and curled a magnificent strike into the far top corner past a helpless Yassine Bounou.
La Selecao controlled the majority of the possession in the 2nd half and came agonizingly close to a winner in the 78th minute, but the Moroccan keeper Bounou stood tall to deny Raphinha from close range. Eventually, ensuring both sides walked away with a well-deserved point.
