Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at MetLife Stadium!
- 5' The travelling Morocco supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Roger Ibanez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 37 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 20' Brahim Diaz, a Morocco , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 21' Against the run of play, Ismael Saibari has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 26' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Morocco winning 0% of all matches.
- 31' Brazil is showing some good football. However, Brazil are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 32' Brilliant from the ! Vinicius Junior makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 32.
- 37' Casemiro picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 42' It is a cagey affair so far. Brazil in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Morocco's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 43' The referee has no hesitation. Roger Ibanez is booked for Brazil — card on 43.
- 46' Brazil manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Fabinho is hanging Casemiro on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 56' A quiet spell here at MetLife Stadium. Brazil seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 61' Lucas Paqueta makes way for Matheus Cunha at the 61 minute mark. A tactical switch from Brazil.
- 64' Another substitution for Morocco to replace Azzedine Ounahi by Samir El Mourabet on 64 minute.
- 69' With 2 assists to his name this season, Lucas Paqueta is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Brazil.
- 74' Brazil international Alisson Becker has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 79' It looks like no one’s ball. Brazil is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 80' Bilal El Khannouss makes way for Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Morocco.
- 85' Brazil currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 89' Morocco manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Soufiane Rahimi is hanging Ismael Saibari on the field on 89 minute.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
