Morocco continued to ride the wave of their historic 2022 World Cup semifinal run, beating Brazil 2-1 in Tangiers in an international friendly on March 25.
The winning goal came with about 10 minutes remaining, as substitute Abdelhamid Sabiri roofed a loose ball in the Brazil box and the Atlas Lions' defense did the rest to see out a deserved result.
The Moroccan team took the lead on a well-executed attack that was finished with a classy, spinning move in the box by Sofiane Boufal. But an uncharacteristic mistake by Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou on a shot by Casemiro saw Brazil equalize 1-1 in the second half.
Morocco were simply sharper, more aggressive, intense, and direct compared to their South American opponents. They were fueled by a capacity crowd that created a memorable environment for the first match played after the fourth-place finish in Qatar.
Brazil were missing several injured players and they were clearly not at their best, but they did get a fair number of chances. However, their front three struggled to convert, and Bounou came up with timely saves as he did throughout their World Cup run. They also had a goal called back for a Vinicius Jr. offside infraction.
The result perhaps shouldn't come as a complete surprise since the Atlas Lions went farther than Brazil at the World Cup. The Brazilian side were surprisingly knocked out at the quarterfinal stage on penalties, while Morocco became the first African team to reach the semis, where the Atlas Lions fell to France in a tight contest.
Brazil head coach Tite departed after the World Cup, and the Selecao had an interim in charge in Morocco with Under-20 national team coach Ramon Menezes at the helm. His Moroccan counterpart ultimately got the upper hand, as Walid Regragui, who was the architect of the historic World Cup run, saw his team continue to perfect their signature playing style, turning biting defense into piercing attacks.
This was the only match that Brazil is playing during this March international window. Meanwhile, the Atlas Lions will face another South American side in Peru on March 28 in Madrid.
