World Cup surprise team Morocco has cheated record world champions Brazil, cementing its current place in the concert of the greats. The North Africans, fourth at the World Cup in Qatar, defeated the Seleçao in Tangier 2-1 (1-0). Abdelhamid Sabiri (79th) decided the game in the final phase.
Brazil looking for a coach
It was another setback for Brazil after the totally disappointing Winter World Cup in Qatar. There, the title candidates failed in the quarter-finals against the eventual third party Croatia and national coach Tite had to leave. The search for a successor is still in full swing: association president Ednaldo Rodrigues is now making a short trip to Europe from Morocco to talk to preferred candidates. The players repeatedly spoke out for Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti in recent weeks.
In a balanced duel with many nicknames among the players, the Moroccans took advantage of the lack of coordination in the defense of Seleçao, in which interim coach Ramon Menezes only started five players from the World Cup quarter-finals against Croatia. Superstar Neymar was injured.
In the very first serious defensive error by the guests, who fielded a total of six newcomers in the international squad, Sofiane Boufal (29′) thrilled the 65,000 fans in Tangier with the opening goal. Casemiro equalized in the 67th minute and Sabiri found an answer to seal Brazil’s only third defeat against African rivals and their first against Morocco. (AFP)
