It&#8217;s a valid way of trying to get the likes of Vinicius Junior and Raphinha in behind. But it also requires energy in the midfield &#8211; which, in theory, is Casemiro&#8217;s and Bruno Guimaraes&#8217; strength. However, both of them severely lacked in that department tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brazil showed little to no aggressiveness in the first half, whether they were defending zonally in their own half or stepping up to press individually. There were often two problems: discoordination and lack of aggressiveness &#8211; and both were on display for Ismael Saibari&#8217;s stunning opener.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"663\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-663x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1457738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-663x1024.png 663w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-194x300.png 194w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-768x1186.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-995x1536.png 995w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-1326x2048.png 1326w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-173x267.png 173w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-130x200.png 130w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-39x60.png 39w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-97x150.png 97w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-48x74.png 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14020029\/defensive_permeability_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC.png 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Brazil&#8217;s defensive solidity map by zone<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Brahim Diaz was surrounded by three Brazilians before making the pass. However, none of them &#8216;bit&#8217; or made the Real Madrid midfielder think twice. He had little space, but plenty of time to deliver an inch-perfect through ball to his teammate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the back, Marquinhos was on Saibari and simply lost him when he made his run in behind. Somehow, the ball found its way between Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhaes &#8211; who once again struggled to replicate their usual club form at international level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-denying-left-sided-build-ups\">Denying left-sided build-ups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlo Ancelotti usually has little regard for a tactical structure when his teams have the ball. It&#8217;s common to see an asymmetric shape and players overloading one of the flanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The left-hand side is clearly their strongest, with Vinicius and Raphinha joining from time to time. However, Morocco denied Brazil many opportunities to initiate their sequences down that side to eventually look for the Real Madrid star&#8217;s runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manager Mohamed Ouahbi placed right-midfielder Brahim Diaz higher up the pitch than Bilal El-Khanouss on the left. The idea was to induce the Selecao to play out from the right &#8211; which eventually led to them going long looking for Igor Thiago because nothing happened from the right.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-1024x791.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1457737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-1024x791.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-346x267.png 346w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-259x200.png 259w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-78x60.png 78w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-150x116.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC-96x74.png 96w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/14015746\/flank_attacks_Brazil1-1Morocco_Brazil_26_FWC.png 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Brazil&#8217;s flank attack map in the first half vs Morocco<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Ancelotti&#8217;s men finished the first half focusing 36% of their attacking actions both on the left and on the right.

Only because of this did Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Junior manage to link up and equalise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was much more of a circumstantial, isolated event than Brazil actually creating and manipulating Morocco.

Bouaddi and El Aynaoui were key in helping them recycle possession in an attempt to wear the Selecao out in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a clear intention to not risk much and take the point instead of going all out for the win. And yet, Morocco had the best chances of the second half with their only attempts &#8211; that came in stoppage time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Brazil played better going forward &#8211; especially after Matheus Cunha replaced Igor Thiago and gave them more movement and dynamism up front. They also managed to access the left wing much more. But still, failed to create any concrete opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Morocco wanted nothing but waste time in the second half, only took two shots &#8211; both after the 90th minute &#8211; and not only nearly scored, but also ran no risk at the back with the opponent controlling possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard to ask for more than that. Great start for Morocco and a worrying one for Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/world-cup-2026-betting-tips-predictions\/\"><strong>World Cup predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-outright-odds\/\"><strong>World Cup outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup-2026-fixtures-results\/\"><b>World Cup fixtures &amp; results<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/world-cup-2026-betting-offers\/\"><b>World Cup free bets<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil and Morocco cancelled each other out in the final score, but the Africans played considerably better.
