Morocco took the lead in the 21st minute through a quick counter-attack. Brazil equalized 11 minutes later with a curling shot from the left. Morocco, fielding an all-foreign-born starting lineup, matched Brazil throughout and earned a fair point. The coach said the team lost possession often and must perform better. Brazil improved after halftime with substitutions and more possession but could not break down Morocco’s defense. Both sides created chances in an open second half, with goalkeepers making key saves. The coach noted progress after the break but said more growth is needed. He added the lineup may change as the team develops. Brazil next faces Haiti in Group C.
