Brazil U-20 Loses 2–1 to Morocco, Faces Must-Win Finale vs Spain

Brazil now must beat Spain to keep its round-of-16 hopes alive.

Overview

  • Brazil sits third in Group C with one point after a 2–2 draw with Mexico and the defeat to Morocco.
  • Othmane Maamma and Zabiri scored for Morocco, while Flamengo defender Iago converted a stoppage-time penalty for Brazil.
  • A first-half penalty initially awarded to Brazil was overturned by VAR for a Luighi simulation, and the forward was shown a yellow card.
  • Supporters at Santiago’s Estádio Nacional chanted “olé” as Brazil struggled to create clear chances and committed defensive errors.
  • Brazil can advance with a win over Spain and help from Mexico vs. already-qualified Morocco, or by placing among the four best third-placed teams in the 24-team format.
