Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil did not go further than a 1-1 draw against Morocco in the first match valid for Group C. Although expectations were high, the "Selecao" national team failed to impose itself on the Africans, who took the lead first with Saibari, in the 21st minute, while Vinicius Junior equalized with a completely individual action in the 32nd minute.

Unlike the exciting first half, the second half did not produce many dangerous chances, with the teams seemingly settling for a draw.

With this result, Brazil extended its unbeaten streak in the first few World Cup matches to 21 matches (17 wins and 4 draws).
