In the only World Cup group stage match to feature two teams ranked within the top 10 of FIFA's Global Ranking, Brazil and Morocco settled for a draw, 1-1 and will split points in Group C.

Morocco began the first half in control, capitalizing on Brazil's shaky start when Saibari scored just after 20 minutes of action.

However, Brazil was not going down without a fight, as Viní Jr. equalized for Brazil just after the half hour mark.

Brazil's subs provided a spark in the second half, but they were unable to add to their scoreline. Morocco's subs came later in the match, but they couldn't find the back of the net either.

Next, Brazil will face Haiti and Morocco will face Scotland on Friday, June 19.
