Brazil vs Morocco Highlights, FIFA World Cup 2026: Vinicius Jr screamer earns Brazil a point in Group C campaign opener

That's it. The match ends in a 1-1 draw. Ismael Saibari opened the scoring for Morocco in the 21st minute before Vinicius Junior equalised 11 minute later with a screamer. Both teams get a point each in Group C. Up next is Haiti vs Scotland.

Raphinha gets the ball inside the box and crosses but there are no recipients. Meanwhile, 10 minutes have been added on.

Looks like Yassine Bounou has injured his shoulder after a collision with Raphinha. Seeing only Bounou alone, Raphinha charges in. The Moroccan goalie clears the ball but not before taking a hit. He is being treated by the medical team. Bounou is up and running. Brazil 1-1 Morocco (85')

Double change once again for Morocco. Anass Salah-Eddine and Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab replace Mazraoui and El Khannouss. Brazil 1-1 Morocco (80')

Brilliant play by Brazil. After Vinicius Junior is being fed up from the midfield on the left, the Real Madrid star crosses up Raphinha inside the box. The Barcelona star takes the shot but his left-footer goes straight at the hands of Yassine Bounou. Brazil 1-1 Morocco (78')

Fabinho looks to have taken a hit on his nose. Blood is dripping from Fabinho's nose as he takes medical treatment on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Morocco have a double change as Brahim Diaz and Ounahi make way for Talbi and El Mourabet. Brazil 1-1 Morocco (65')

Two more substitutions for Brazil as Igor Thiago and Lucas Paqueta make way for Matheus Cunha and Luis Henrique.

Brazil look more dominating in the second half. Raphinha, using the right flank gets up and close into the box but is blocked by the Moroccan defence. Meanwhile, Igor Thiago in the attacking first looks a bit wayward. The Brentford striker hasn't been able to fire a single shot at goal after mistiming a header in the first half in front of the net. Brazil 1-1 Morocco (50')

And the players return to the field for the second half. Two changes for Brazil as Roger Ibanez and Casemiro, both of whom have received yellow cards in the first half. Danilo and Fabinho come in.

In the previous match of the day, Qatar secured theur historic first point at the FIFA World Cup with a stoppage-time goal to earn a shocking 1-1 draw with Group B favourite Switzerland. Boualem Khoukhi scored the equalizing goal on a header in the fourth minute of injury time to give Qatar its first-ever point at the World Cup in front of 67,966 spectators at Levi's Stadium.

A certain goal denied by Morocco at the stroke of half-time. In search of the ball possession, Morocco plays around in the midlfield, but Brazil had other plans. Santos provides a cross on the left to Lucas Paqueta, who shoots with a left-footer only to see it saved by a diving Yassine Bounou. Both teams go into HT at 1-1.

Yellow Card to Roger Ibanez. The Al-Ahli defender gets into the duel with Brahmin Diaz for the ball. The referee felt there is too much contact and takes out his yellow card. Meanwhile, four minutes have been added in the first half.

GOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! Vinicius Junior equalises for Brazil. The Real Madrid star runs along the right flank, plays one-two with Raphinha, dribbles a defender before a right-footer angles into the back of the net. The whole stadium erupts as Vinicius restores parity for Brazil just after 11 minutes. This is Vinicius's 50th match for Brazil. Brazil 1-1 Morocco (32')

The ball possession is still with Morocco as Acraf Hakimi catches the Brazilian defence off guard. The PSG star runs through the middle and launches a right -footed shot just from outside of the box only to see the ball go wide on the left. Brazil 0-1 Morocco (27')

GOOAALLLL!!!!!! Morocco take the lead. In the counter-attack, Brahmin Diaz sets up Ismael Saibari up front, who outruns Gabriel, and calmly slobs the ball over Alisson Becker to find the empty net at 20 minutes. Saibari himself can't believe it. Brazil 0-1 Morocco (21')

First real attack from Brazil and a golden opportunity goes abegging. Vinicius Junior runs with the ball from the left flank and chips in at the centre only for Igor Thiago to head the ball in. But the Brentford striker mistimes his jump to miss a golden chance. Formers Ronaldo, Kaka and Rivaldo can't believe what they see from the stands. Brazil 0-0 Morocco (14')

Brilliant save from Gabriel. The ball falls in front of El Aynouai inside the box. Aynouai takes left-footer shot, but luckily for Brazil, Gabriel was at the right spot at the right time to clear the ball. Early scare for Brazil. Brazil 0-0 Morocco (6')

Achraf Hakimi tries to make inroads through the right flank but the Brazilian defenders are well in place to thwart the challenge. Free kick for Morocco. No problem for Brazil as they clear the ball. Meanwhile, Morocco have controlled most of the ball possession in the first few minutes. Brazil 0-0 Morocco (5')

Neymar is in spotlight as he comes out of the tunnel amidst loud cheers. He waves to the fans and straightaway heads to the bench. The former Barcelona and PSG star is missing the game due to a calf injury.

Time for the National Anthems. Brazil to go first, followed by Morocco. Brazil are wearing their iconic yellow kit. For Morocco, they are clad in red and green colours.
