The Atlas Lions continued from where they stopped as they took maximum points against the highest-ranked national team in the world. Morocco took the lead just before the break from Sofine Boufal after some defensive lapses from the South American side. Brazil pulled one back minutes into the second half when Casemiro’s long-range shot found the back of the net. Morocco never stopped running, and after several attempts, they were rewarded with another excellent goal in the 79th minute. The victory was their first against Brazil as they became the second African side to triumph in an international match against the South American side.

Morocco are by far the best team in Africa, and their ability to transition from defense to attack has helped achieve this feat.
