Brazil and Morocco Share the Spoils in New York Thriller
Five-time world champions Brazil were held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Morocco side in a blockbuster Group C opener at MetLife Stadium.
Brazil's World Cup campaign began with a jolt rather than a fanfare, as Morocco earned a hard-fought draw against the Samba Boys in East Rutherford, New York, according to beIN Sports.
The result is a significant one for Morocco, who arrive at this tournament with genuine ambitions after their historic semi-final run in Qatar. Holding one of the tournament's most storied nations to a point on the opening night of Group C sends a powerful message to the rest of the draw.
For Brazil, it is a chance missed rather than a crisis, but with every point precious in the expanded 48-team format, Carlo Ancelotti's side will know they cannot afford many more dropped points if they want to top the group.
