Five time World Champions Brazil were forced to come from behind to secure a 1-1 draw with Morroco.
Both of the goals were scored in the first half.
Morocco started well and scored goal in the 21st minute through Ismael Saibari after a good pass from Brahim Diaz.
Diaz then picked a loose ball before threading a pass in between two Brazilian defenders Gabrielle and Marcquinhos who are also considered among the best in the world.
Brazil responded decisively 11 minutes later through a stunner from Real Madrid Striker Vinicious Junior after a good pass from Newcastle Midfielder Bruno Guimares.
He cut inside the box and sent a perfect shot to ease pressure on Brazil.
