Brazil and Morocco played to a 1-1 draw in their 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage match at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on June 13. Morocco struck first through Ismael Saibari in the 21st minute, and Vinicius Junior equalized for Brazil in the 32nd minute. Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson made two critical saves in the closing minutes to preserve the point and deny Morocco a historic victory.
Because a draw does not constitute an upset win, the question resolved false — Morocco did not beat Brazil. The result left both teams with one point in their group and complicated Brazils path through the group stage under new head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
