Vinicius Junior of Brazil celebrates his team's first goal against Morocco during the Fifa World Cup.

Brazil and Morocco have played out a 1-1 draw in the first heavyweight clash of the World Cup, with the African side confirming their potential, while exposing familiar weaknesses in their opponents at a soldout New York/New Jersey stadium.

Ismael Saibari gave Morocco a deserved first-half lead, before Vinicius Jr produced a moment of brilliance to restore parity, ensuring the points were shared in the opening Group C match.

The result leaves the group finely balanced, before Haiti's meeting with Scotland later in the other group fixture.
