Brazil had a below-average debut and was held to a 1-1 draw with Morocco in its World Cup opener this Saturday (13), in New Jersey, USA.

After a poor first half, the team conceded in the 20th minute, when Saibiri received a through ball between the center-backs and finished after breaking into the box with complete freedom.

Fortunately for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, Vinícius Júnior was having an inspired day. One of the few standouts, the No. 7 equalized in the 31st minute after receiving a long pass on the left wing, beating two defenders, and firing past the goalkeeper with no chance of a save.

Brazil returns to the field in Group C at 10 p.m. Brasília time on Friday (19), against Haiti.
