Brazil were forced to settle for a point in their World Cup opener against a strong Morocco outfit in a game that lived up to it’s pre-match billing as one of the stand-out group stage fixtures.
The Atlas Lions shocked the travelling Brazilian support by taking the lead when Brahim Diaz’s defence-splitting pass was met by Ismael Saibari, who lifted the ball over the onrushing Allison to give the African side the lead.
It didn’t take long for Brazil to respond however through a moment of inspiration from Vinicius Jr. The Real Madrid man managed to work some space on the left side of the box before lashing in a right-footed finish to bring the Selecao level.
The Selecao’s midfield struggled to get to grips throughout, with Morocco possessing more energy and creativity in their youthful midfield.
While Ancelotti has never been known as a system-first coach, Brazil lacked cohesion and structure in this game and didn’t look like living up to their potential as one of the pre-tournament favourites whatsoever.
Vinicius did make Achraf Hakimi work but the Atlas Lions skipper still stood out, making five tackles and taking three shots.
