Morocco’s Ismael Saibari chipped the ball over Brazil’s goalkeeper on June 13, putting his team ahead 1-0 in a Group C clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The goal, scored at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, immediately became one of the tournament’s marquee moments.
The match that shook Group C
Morocco lined up with Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Díaz in the starting eleven, facing a Brazilian squad that included Casemiro and Vinícius Júnior. On paper, Brazil was the heavy favorite.
Morocco defeated Brazil 2-1 in a friendly back in 2023, proving they could compete with the five-time champions. Saibari himself had been in strong form heading into the tournament, scoring in Morocco’s 4-0 friendly win over Madagascar on June 2.
