Morocco Dominate Brazil in Troubling Start to World Cup Clash
Brazil are meeting Morocco right now in a Group Stage match at the 2026 World Cup, but the early action has gone heavily in Morocco’s favor. Despite expectations that the Selecao would come out aggressively, the game has looked one-sided, and Brazil have struggled to create chances.
Brazilian outlet Globo described the opening as “total dominance” by Morocco. It said every Moroccan move was alarming for Brazil’s defense, and that only occasional clearances briefly let Brazil “catch a little breath.” The report added that Brazil’s start was bad and that the team would need to improve quickly.
Brazil’s defensive problems eventually cost them. After a shaky back line left gaps, Brahim Diaz sent a perfect through ball to Ismail Saibari, who, according to the report, is a Bayern Munich target. Saibari calmly lifted the ball over Alisson to make it 1-0 and, with the finish, entered the tournament’s scoring charts.
