Ismael Saibari gave Morocco the lead in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> minute of the first half after receiving a pass from Brahim D\u00edaz and capitalizing on a disorganized Brazilian defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vini Jr. equalized after taking a pass from Bruno Guimar\u00e3es, dribbling past a defender, and placing the ball into the left corner beyond goalkeeper Bono.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morocco started the match in control of midfield and created the better chances before Saibari opened the scoring. Brazil responded well after conceding and soon found an equalizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti made several changes in the second half, but they were not enough to break the deadlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both teams return to action on June 19, when Morocco faces Scotland and Brazil takes on Haiti, the other teams in Group C of the FIFA World Cup, being held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read more<\/em>:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/brazilian-referee-to-officiate-egypt-match\/\">Brazilian referee to officiate Egypt match<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-412289\">\u00a9Timothy A.
