## Brazil 1-1 Morocco — Match of the Day

The most anticipated match of the opening round lived up to every bit of the hype. MetLife Stadium was electric as two World Cup heavyweights collided in Group C.

Morocco stormed out of the gates and took a deserved lead when **Ismael Saibari** chipped the ball over Alisson with a clinical finish. The Atlas Lions dominated the opening 30 minutes, attempting five shots against Brazil within the first 10 minutes — a feat only matched by Portugal back in 1966.

But Brazil responded in style. **Vinícius Júnior** produced a moment of brilliance just before halftime, leveling the score with a superb equalizer against the run of play. The second half saw both sides trade spells of control, but neither could find the breakthrough.

**Key stat:** Brazil extended their incredible unbeaten run in opening World Cup matches to 21 tournaments (W17 D4), dating back to 1938. Morocco, meanwhile, stretched their unbeaten run in group-stage matches to five games.

Brazil goalkeeper Alisson made a crucial double save in stoppage time to secure the draw, while Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi made his 11th World Cup appearance — equaling the record for most by an African player.

## Switzerland 1-1 Qatar — Late Drama in Santa Clara

Switzerland dominated possession and chances in their Group B opener at Levi’s Stadium. **Breel Embolo** converted a 17th-minute penalty to give the Swiss a well-deserved lead. Despite registering 23 shots (7 on goal), Switzerland couldn’t put the game to bed.

Then came the drama. Qatar’s **Boualem Khoukhi** scored a stoppage-time equalizer, snatching a 1-1 draw and earning Qatar their **first-ever World Cup point** in the process. The moment sent the Swiss fans home stunned and gave Qatar a historic result to build on.

## Scotland 1-0 Haiti — McGinn Makes the Difference

Scotland returned to the World Cup with a hard-fought victory at Gillette Stadium. **John McGinn** scored the only goal in the 28th minute, finishing a rebound after Che Adams was denied following a long ball from Grant Hanley.

Haiti, playing in their first World Cup in five decades, had spells of possession (56%) and created chances, with 15 total attempts. But they couldn’t break through a disciplined Scotland defense. The win puts Scotland top of Group C with 3 points.
