Brazil and Morocco took center stage on the third day of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, battling to a 1–1 draw at MetLife Stadium in a game that could decide the Group C standings.
Morocco striker Ismael Saibari opened the scoring in the 21st minute after he chipped home a lovely weighted pass from Brahim Díaz that split the center back duo of Marquinhos and Gabriel. Brazil superstar Vinicius Junior was quick to respond with a thunderous goal of his own, bringing the hosts level in the 32nd minute.
