1-1: Vini Jr. scores and Brahim assists in Brazil and Morocco's draw
The two madridistas played key roles in their national teams' debut at the World Cup.
Brazil and Morocco drew in the opening match of Group C in the World Cup, held at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Vini Jr. and Brahim started the game and played decisive roles by contributing to their teams' goals.
The Moroccan team took the lead in the 21st minute thanks to a brilliant assist from Brahim to Saibari, who beat the goalkeeper with a delicate chip. Brazil responded 11 minutes later when Vini Jr. received the ball on the left wing, outmaneuvered his defender with a cut, and scored the equalizer with a spectacular right-footed strike.
Despite chances for both teams in the second half, the scoreline remained unchanged. Brazil's next match will be against Haiti, while Morocco will face Scotland. Both games will be played on June 20.
