00:13And their time has come.
00:18The moment.
00:22For so many on the planet, the World Cup only truly begins
00:26with the first glimpse of shimmering Brazilian yellow.
00:30And here comes that glimpse and how it shimmers
00:34in the golden New Jersey sunshine.
00:39And beside the Brazilians, the sporting embodiment
00:43of proud, passionate Morocco.
00:46No nation shocked the world quite as they did last time round.
00:51No nation pushed back its boundaries as boldly as ambitiously.
00:55As Morocco did.
00:58The time approaches 7 o'clock in Rio de Janeiro,
01:0211 o'clock in Rabat, from South America to North Africa.
01:07On the banks of the Hudson River, here is where it begins.
01:39The sense of ceremony.
01:41At this World Cup, enhanced by the involvement of all 26 players
01:47of either squad, either gathering around the centre circle.
01:54And in this increasingly iconic stadium,
01:57the stadium which will house the final five weeks tomorrow.
02:01The setting is dramatic indeed.
02:12So we have Manchester United.
02:15Hakimi of Paris Saint-Germain.
02:16Stella players in the Morocco line-up.
02:21They stand, the stadium stands,
02:24for the national anthems of Morocco and first, Brazil.
02:28So.
02:30Neither do you believe.
02:39To be visible.
02:42To be visible.
02:45To the national anthem.
02:47To beềus of آ поех ours.
02:47To be.
02:47To be could.
02:49To be Absolutely.
02:51To be able.
02:55To be respected.
02:57To be provided that瑞vity.
11:38How's Rawi?
11:41I think the route past Pakata.
11:45He's not a care in the world.
11:47Stellar, smooth, unworried.
11:50Football lifetime almost unparalleled.
11:55But this is his bow in World Cup football as the coach.
12:00And the coach of the nation.
12:06Canoos.
12:09A bangers at right back for Brazil.
12:12He's principally a centre-half having to fill in.
12:14That was his challenge.
12:16Yeah, both full-backs of Brazil now.
12:18Committed fouls.
12:19A key area, I think, both flanks out there.
12:24Think of Rafinha attacking Masraou.
12:28Vinicius Junior against Hakimi.
12:38Canoos in Qatar four years ago played only the third, fourth playoff.
12:44So this is his second World Cup start.
12:46And he has the game's first offensive set-piece.
12:54Canoos in.
12:55A flick.
12:58So, chased away by the centre-forward.
13:00And he caught Thiago for Brazil.
13:07Masraou.
13:14Burladi here, the 18-year-old becomes the second youngest Moroccan ever to appear at the World Cup.
13:22Well, Morocco's seen plenty of the ball here in the early stages.
13:27It's not a familiar sight to see an Ancelotti team.
13:31Just step off and allow the opposition to have it.
13:34Knowing they've got that amazing ability on the counter.
13:39Naheem Diaz is a very tasty ball player.
13:44Masraoui.
13:51Not a hot pace by Pakatar.
13:55Masraoui kept him honest.
13:56And El Canoos stepped in to steal.
14:09Masraoui.
14:10All right, competing.
14:11Can't go for El Canoos.
14:14Unahi.
14:17Mahindiaz, schema.
14:21Hakimi.
14:29Set the half.
14:31Hakimi.
14:32We'll go through Unahi.
14:35Diaz.
14:37Hakimi.
14:43Rahim Diaz.
14:45Got a shot of sorts away.
14:47Masalero clear.
14:48Really confident start, isn't it, from his team.
14:52He's bound to be nervous.
14:53New to the job.
14:55He's had much time to climatise and organise the structure of the team.
15:03He's reported in March to succeed the guy.
15:05And Nauri, who took them to the semi-final for Qatar.
15:11I think he guided them to become champions of Africa at the start of this calendar year.
15:16Here's Masraoui.
15:17And he's caught around his man.
15:20And he's sent it back to the shot, which is hoisted away by Gabriel.
15:31Well, Alain Nauri with a strike into a posse of players and Gabriel throwing a limb at it.
15:38Well, it's Brazil isn't it.
15:40They're looking a little nervous in these opening minutes.
15:44A bit tentative.
15:57He's got a good one.
15:59He's got a good one.
16:14well the space just in front of that Brazil back four in which to work
16:20they're all getting a touch of the ball they're all being given belief they could
16:25make make a dent in this Brazil defense Marquinhos asking some questions of his
16:30teammates
16:35see I'll go rising and return packets are
16:45the rice it's the point by the ego who Addy this looks like a hungry Moroccan team
16:57oh yes
17:01job
17:03we react
17:06so we
17:09no we cost didn't work out
17:12Brazil can go the other way now
17:19Rafinha
17:24Semiro
17:25Marquinhos
17:28Akata
17:32Tidanez
17:35Five times world champions have really had to settle on the football
17:49Suck it for long
17:53Marquinhos
17:55Casemiro
17:57Rafinha rattled it against Guillaume
18:02And that was travelling
18:05Lovely take by Alcaloos
18:09Mulani is proving now
18:10Outside of him, Saibari
18:14Mulani
18:16Oconus
18:18Brahim Diaz
18:19Against Gabriel who goes in for more and takes quite a hit
18:28It's a ball that both are entitled to go for
18:37Gabriel getting there
18:38A fraction of a second
18:40Before Kimi
18:45Very long since those two last met
18:48Opponents
18:49In the climactic game of the European season
18:52The Champions League for Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain
18:55Respectively
18:57It's a point of
18:59Coincidence and interest
19:00Stood actually the two captains tonight are both
19:03From Paris Saint-Germain
19:04Coming from Paris Saint-Germain
19:24It's a little slow to decide what he wanted to do here she's not like him first touch didn't help
19:51Thank you the men's
19:54It's our player who's refining his love for the game
19:58And refining himself in a sense since returning to his native Brazil to Flamengo from
20:04West Ham in London
20:07January
20:12It's another poor giveaway
20:17Slip through for Saibari
20:18It's quite put on our heat
20:23Or canoose shall we
20:26For what he
20:27I could be smelling blood here because you can't fail to notice that the mistakes that Brazil are making
20:35But it's
20:36It's vital that you take advantage doing spells like this when you're pretty much on top calling the shots
21:01memory again for Elkadu's
21:10Really again for Elkadu's
21:12I'm not clean yours. Nice little touch from Pacquiao
21:16Wadi is penalized
21:19He gets about the pitch really well doesn't they I mean a superstar in the making I think but what
21:24he only 18 years of age
21:28He's not intimidated by his opponents out there far from him
21:34Years 254 days to be precise. It was only on May the 15th at FIFA approved his
21:39uh
21:40Switch of allegiance from France. He was a French under 21 international
21:45He was actually named in the Moroccan squad before he'd made his international debut
21:58Was caught on it by a produce
22:09There are some numbers that tell a story Ellen. Yeah, you probably wouldn't have predicted that at the start
22:15You would think it's only a matter of time before still settle into some kind of rhythm here
22:26Oh
22:26This is Judy's only at one touch
22:30It's our Rafinha always don't want to keep that
22:38Here he comes now that is quite a raid and that is quite a delivery
22:42Igor Thiago couldn't apply a touch
22:48And it just needed a touch
22:52And it just needed a touch
22:53Second third and fourth touches were pretty good weren't they just a little bit hard for
22:57Igor Thiago I think oh, no, no, he's just mistimed it
23:03That is a golden opportunity
23:11So the thick end of a quarter of an hour in
23:14Morocco have had the bulk of the pool brazil have had the golden chance
23:24After a quiet opening to the game it was finishes junior who made it happen
23:31He didn't hear his 50th cap
23:35Well since going long for this is junior is interested
24:05Gabriel Santos
24:18Al-Ali in Saudi Arabia
24:27What a problem for Yasin Bono in the moroccan goal
24:31That's one of the heroes of the last world cup
24:35He saves against the spanish
24:40Left his teammate a little bit of bother here
24:43But this was the Vinicius junior cross and
24:46It's a dream for a center forward
24:49Well that fellow in the middle probably would have buried it
24:53Ronaldo in the foreground Roberto Carlos over his shoulder
24:56There's a pair of
24:58Glimmering brazilian grace
25:02And it was the first real alarm for mohammed
25:04Who five games into his moroccan tenure is still unbeaten indeed morocco are 29 games unbeaten
25:1322 of those seven draws does include a couple of penalty shootouts
25:17And of course to find of the african cup of nations which originally they lost to senegal, but then
25:23in retrospect they won
25:26So they haven't lost the football match since doing so against kenya in nairobi in august
25:31of last year
25:35Mahim diaz gets a penalty i don't think he'll try the penanku willy
25:39Well
25:40What
25:41I
25:41I
25:54I
25:55I
26:59There's encouragement there for Brazil.
27:02They get good quality into the box.
27:12They were very good in qualifying, weren't they, defensively.
27:15Norocco didn't give much away, but this is a different kettle of fish altogether.
27:23They're going to play with their group with a 100% record conceding as Alan implies just
27:28two goals, one in Niger in March of 2025 and one against Zambia in Agadir June of 2024.
27:36But playdate, 1-8, scored 22, conceded two.
27:42They really are the dominant force in Africa.
27:44They're going to play with another one.
27:53They're going to play with another one.
28:20So Bruno Guimaraish wandering over to a principally yellow corner to deliver Brazil's set piece.
28:35First of the game.
28:53In by Guimaraish, out as far as Vinicius Jr. set for Pakatar.
29:04Real had nowhere to go but back.
29:15So by contrast with Morocco had a terribly rocky qualifying period.
29:20There was at one stage a horrifying prospect.
29:23The Brazil might not reach a World Cup finals.
29:26It didn't come to pass.
29:27They finished fifth in the South American group.
29:33Carlo Ancelotti's had a lot of work to do to lift morale and imprint his methods on this team.
29:46So, Diaz sifting it through here for Sibori!
29:52What a finish!
29:59Amid the searing heats of New Jersey, each smile, Sibori lights up Moroccan hopes!
30:10That was deliciously cool!
30:14But they've looked vulnerable, Brazil, every time Morocco have come at them.
30:19But this fall by Brahim Diaz was right through the heart of that Brazilian back fall.
30:27For this lad to run on to, and boy, did he take it confidently!
30:33How much time has he got?
30:34Enough to lock up!
30:37Perfectly weighted!
30:38I wondered whether Sibori was going to take it past Alisson, but he's got the confidence
30:44to see where the keeper is and lift it, and lift it perfectly!
30:48So easy to tighten up as a striker in that situation when you've got a little bit of time
30:53to think about it.
30:55But that's a relaxed, composed, absolutely brilliant finish.
31:04What poise, what poise, and how his coach embraces the moment as he is embraced.
31:12And whenever Sibori has scored, Morocco have won.
31:17All seven games in which he has scored for his country have ended in victory.
31:23He's scored three times in qualifying, he's just off a uplifting domestic season, champion
31:29of the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven.
31:31And now he has the goal of his life, the goal of his dreams.
31:38What a beautifully crafted goal it was too.
31:42Wonderful assist by Diaz.
31:45Even better finish in fairness.
31:48It's the first goal of this tournament to have been scored from outside the penalty area.
31:53What a beauty it was.
31:58It takes us up to this hydration break.
32:01It certainly gives us something tasty to talk about.
32:05Well, it certainly does.
32:06Carlo Ancelotti's got a little bit of work to do, hasn't he?
32:11We will step away for a quick minute for a hydration break on the field.
32:20We will step away for a while.
32:21The part of that, surely, is getting the ball out to Vinicius Junior more often.
32:32Those Moroccan fans will begin to take this sort of thing for granted.
32:38Brazilian supporters always expect more.
32:51So, the resumption, the second quarter.
32:58Quindos.
33:21Back and blown off to the ball.
33:30This is the diagonal, which is too heavy for Urbanias.
33:36He is Mr. Unflappable.
33:39He's an international player.
33:40He won 26 caps for Italy.
33:42Mostly through the 1980s.
33:44The injury kept him out of the 1982 World Cup.
33:48He was a non-playing squad member in 1986.
33:51He played throughout Euro 88.
33:53And made three appearances in Italy's home World Cup of 1990.
34:02Here's Hakimi.
34:04He just kept on going.
34:05And Hakimi's had a shot, which is, in the end, rather dragged.
34:11But, again, they lose the ball in transition.
34:14There's plenty of space for Morocco to spring forward.
34:18Ref can just about keep up here.
34:23He's always struggling, too.
34:26Here's Ibanias.
34:30Rafinha.
34:34Casemiro.
34:37He isn't afraid of his reputation.
34:45Hakimi.
34:48Hakimi outside of him.
34:50Saibari through the inside left channel.
34:54Hakimi.
34:59Hakimi.
35:05Buadi.
35:20That's the goal, by the way.
35:21On behalf of their new coach.
35:24The first game ever scored against South American opposition at a World Cup.
35:28He's still lost 3-0 to Brazil.
35:30And 3-0 on another occasion to Peru.
35:32Well, it's a reflection of how things have gone.
35:38It's two against one, but Diaz slips in between.
35:47A slippery little player, Brahim Diaz.
35:49The road between.
35:56That's the free kick.
35:57Charge of which is Captain Atraf, Hakimi.
36:14Hakimi takes Alan Naui with the header.
36:17Up by Gabriel.
36:23Saibari, got it back here.
36:25Saibari again.
36:27He is full of himself.
36:28It's coming out here to Brahim Diaz.
36:31And his shot was without power.
36:38Brazil's play is littered with misplaced passes, mistakes.
36:43You can't believe what you've seen.
36:45Pack it up.
36:46Another one just before that latest.
36:48A loose.
37:06Oh, Nahi.
37:11She was tempted.
37:13And again to Anahi, Ruadi, Alan Naui.
37:16It looks so disorganised.
37:18Brazil wouldn't be at all surprised if there's lots of change in this.
37:22Anahi.
37:23It's an awkward clearance which came to Hakimi.
37:29I believe it.
37:30High over the top.
37:32Watched as he and they all are by one of the great American superstars in Tom Brady.
37:37Seven-time Super Bowl winner.
37:39Five times MVP.
37:42There are a few cooler than him.
37:44He knew he was on the telly there.
37:51Why not?
38:16Five times MVP.
38:24Truth be told for the most part there's only been one team in this oddly it's not Brazil
38:32but Vinicius Jr. can change all of that this is Julia, Bruno Gimaraes, Vinny Jr. again
38:44Vinicius Jr. lashes in the equaliser
38:49a superstar goal for Brazil
38:53the points of brilliant Brazilian difference
39:10well, when you're struggling, when you constrict two or three passes together
39:16when you're low on confidence, you look to your superstars to try and dig you out of a hole
39:23and Vinicius Jr. has just done that big time
39:28they haven't really enjoyed enough controlled possession to get the ball over to him
39:32but on the occasions that they have, he's looked a real threat
39:36but what about this, it's world class
39:40it's absolutely lethal from the Real Madrid player
39:48on the occasion of his 50th game in the famous Brazilian colours
39:53Vinicius Jr. strikes his 10th goal
39:59for the nation
40:00and Carlo Ancelotti is off and running
40:07now that was Brazil
40:09Brazil as we remember them
40:17and we've got a game
40:19and we've got a game
40:20and we've got a game
40:34this is junior
40:35Akita
40:38awkward for Dia
40:42it's forward here for Unahi
40:48Saibari
40:52Mahib Diaz
40:55Saibari
40:55Hakimi
40:58His ankle taps is gonna freak it for that
41:02Well, he's had a tough time to keep me against next teammate
41:22Brazil have won every game in which for this is junior has scored eight of those
41:30They can be said for the rocker inside barry
41:41And this is to do the one map is he'll go
41:53In by Hakimi
41:56not as far as El Canoose
41:59Brahim Diaz, Alisson came and took very good effect
42:03A lovely ball in that was from Beam Diaz
42:08We've seen Alisson to come out
42:16Long and can't watch it over his shoulder
42:29This was junior
42:30keep me with a well-time tackle his face was a picture after a bikini finish his junior
42:36Smashed in that goal
42:38To the compass fullback
42:40Well often left open mouth and be
42:43I'm just going to break where he is
42:53Here we go
43:05Thanks a lot of applause
43:06Ok?...
43:06Give it to her Roche
43:11Come on
43:13Lifting start for the two nine-year-old Belgian ball the Moroccan coach
43:22Morocco to the 2025 under 20 World Cup Chile
43:29The final of that competition in Santiago
43:35But he promised they wouldn't change their principles regardless of the stellar opposition and he's been true to that for
43:41sure
43:48Oh
43:49Canoos
43:50Certainly say that Morocco look more comfortable in the shape than Brazil do
43:55Brazil team that have conceded a lot of space in front of their back four
44:00Looked a little disorganized in the middle of the park
44:04He has
44:07Right in front of the referee was a fairly cynical body check
44:12A yellow card follows or the experienced Casemiro
44:18Yeah, they've had a bit of a run around Casemiro be maresh
44:21A bit sharper to the ball Morocco
44:31I know we are phone robot on the receiving end
44:40Here is 87th cap for Brazil tonight
44:45Third World Cup Finals
44:59For Diaz
45:02Take on Benicio's junior
45:07Enjoyed that
45:09Punching the air in front of those Brazil fans
45:13Showing he can defend as well, but this is what he does best cutting inside and it's just power that
45:18beats bono
45:21100 kilometers per hour
45:25It's
45:26That's
45:26Travis Scott
45:26This
45:28is
45:29Composing a rap to go with that
45:31with that
45:34with that
45:40with that
45:41with that
45:42with that
45:43with that
45:46with that
46:03Asimiro, Marquinhos, Rafinha, no easy route round to by Masraoui.
46:11Watch back down for Paketar, taken on by Bruno Guimaraes, it's a good tackle by Burani.
46:19Mr. Fiddle it out to El Canoos, Buadi, oh, we have to check, Samira, Vinicius Junior caught
46:34up by Diaz, it's a Brazilian ball, it's controlled from Junior there, Vinicius Junior,
46:48well, you've got Thiago who want to connect with Brazil's best early chance, I guess.
47:18Oh
47:27For the finia
47:30The penis just not being able to get into it most of Brazil's dangerous attacks have come down the left
47:36through
47:37This is junior
47:44Oh
47:54The mayor of New York is here. I would be here to if I were mayor of New York. It's
48:00a hot ticket
48:01It's a evening this city
48:05Big game for the mix
48:11They bar is a spectator, which is the last thing he really wanted to be
48:16Anticipated should be fit by the end of the group stage. You might get to turn out against Scotland and
48:21Miami
48:24Maybe even Haiti next time out in Philadelphia, we'll see
48:27Yeah, you wouldn't be averse to put it in my home on last 15 minutes if you need something to
48:34happen for your team
48:36I'm produced it well to keep it Diaz could progress with it. Hakimi is outside of it
48:45A key me
48:54I'm protecting it and taking the foul it's hardly been a conservative cautious game this really good watch
49:03Not always for Ancelotti but it's team's level now
49:12There have been very pronounced waves of prolonged momentum on either side see how swiftly Morocco were out of the
49:20blocks
49:42Yeah, it's
49:42See yeah, it's
49:45Yes
49:47The rush
49:48The rush
49:50Way for master are we who middled back in?
49:53All right
50:01It's a place
50:02It's maybe the way to a band, yes
50:06Let's run into Diaz
50:07Morocco have a free kick
50:17Can't tell
50:21I don't think he complied about that, Roger
50:23Yes, that was cynical in the extreme
50:34Well, he appeared in qualifying, Roger Ibanez
50:37Just one appearance
50:38Which was his debut, actually, against Bolivia
50:40Right at the start of the competition
50:41September 2023
50:47To start full-back, really, has been the Brazil's
50:51Principal issue
50:53Leading up to this game in this tournament
50:55The injury to Wesley in the last warm-up
50:57Really didn't help in that regard
50:59No, and it showed out there, in all fairness
51:01Neither full-backs
51:02Been solid
51:03Or shoe of themselves
51:05No, he
51:17Diaz
51:18He's been pulling in this first half
51:29Diaz
51:29The
51:31Buwadi
51:31So, it's a free kick against El Caduce
51:43He's got a little bit of the ball
51:45Not enough
52:00Towards a stoppage time
52:02Of which we know
52:03There will be
52:04At least three minutes
52:05Because of the
52:06Hydration break
52:08I think that it's
52:09Plus, perhaps
52:09A bonus one or two
52:13It's been a free-flowing game
52:15Not many stoppages
52:24By Buwadi
52:26Just two it is
52:27Minahi
52:29Four minutes of stoppage time
52:31Confirmed
52:33Hakimi
52:36It's on for Buwadi
52:39Buwadi again
52:40Hakimi
52:40Lovely football over there
52:43To retain possession
52:44How are we
52:49Deal
52:58Diaz
52:59Perhaps
53:00The outstanding player
53:01Certainly on the
53:02Moroccan team
53:03Of first period
53:27Toss
53:30Chugly
53:34The Brazilian fan base
53:39Santos
53:40Bruno got across
53:42To deny Pacquiao what would have been
53:45A showpiece goal
53:47It was well directed
53:49Not quite the power
53:50He would have wanted
53:51It's not been the easiest of halves Pacquiao at times
53:55That looked to be headed in
54:03A save Yasin Bodo has had to make
54:07It's the first he has succeeded in making
54:12At the expense of this corner
54:14Two sloppage time minutes played
54:16Two still to play
54:23Rafinha's delivery
54:24Got a little nimmer
54:30Goal kick given
54:35Kinos disagrees with that call
54:41He goes to the argument last thing
54:43That he could have thrown himself at it
54:46That he could have thrown himself
54:58See what he did
55:04See what he did
55:06See what he did
55:09He did
55:10He did
55:15He did
55:19in his studio with green grass into which he can run and with a full-back Santos outside of it
55:30circumventing Hakimi but Hakimi's got lost with it to be awarded the free kick which will come
55:36as some relief
55:46Good battle over on that side Junior against Teclimi
55:54Bad challenge really misses the ball altogether
56:00Right on the ankle
56:24Half-time what a smashing football match that is to lay before the world
56:29Morocco began it like a lightning and they established a lead which they were worthy of
56:37through Ishmael Saibari a delicious lob from outside the penalty area
56:41Vinicius Junior equalized with a spectacular flourish
