Brazil came back to earn a 1-1 draw with Morocco in an exciting 2026 World Cup group-stage match at MetLife Stadium.
Morocco started fast and went ahead when Ismael Saibari chipped the ball over Alisson, but Vinicius Jr levelled the match before half-time with a smart finish against the run of play.
Both teams looked tired late on, and the draw leaves Group C very open.
Both Teams Extend Their Streaks
Brazil are now unbeaten in their opening match in the last 21 World Cups (W17 D4), dating back to 1938. Morocco had a big chance to end that run, which is twice as long as any other nation's.
Morocco are also now unbeaten in their last five World Cup group-stage matches (W2 D3), their longest run in this stage of the tournament. This is better than their previous record of four games (W1 D3) between 1970 and 1986.
