Brazil hold Morocco to draw in World Cup

Brazil have been forced to come from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw with Morocco in their World Cup Group C opener at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The five-time World Cup winners were forced to come from behind to snatch a point from Morocco in their Group C opener at the MetLife Stadium.

Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior lashed in a superbly taken equaliser in the 32nd minute after a brilliant counter-attacking goal by Ismael Saibari had given Morocco an early lead.

Brazil are chasing a record sixth World Cup title, 24 years after last lifting the trophy, but this performance suggests there is a lot of work to be done by Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and Kaka were all members of Brazil’s 2002 World Cup-winning squad and were among those in attendance at MetLife Stadium.

Brazil have turned to the hugely successful Ancelotti in a bid to end the country’s title drought.
