World football has recently staged a high-profile showdown as Morocco faces five-star Brazil at home. In the end, Morocco successfully countered with a score of 2-1, proving their strength time and time again. The match was also a strong response to tell the world that their performance at the World Cup in Qatar was no coincidence, and that they have the ability to compete against the top teams in the world.
Brazil have always been at the top of the FIFA rankings and they are undoubtedly the dominant players in football. In contrast, Morocco kept a low profile in international football until last year's World Cup in Qatar, where their performance was impressive. Morocco made history by fighting all the way to reach the semi-finals, becoming the first African team in history to reach the last four of the World Cup. Their international rankings have also risen rapidly, soaring from 22nd to 11th before the World Cup.
Despite their excellent performance at the World Cup, in the eyes of some viewers, Morocco is still seen as a secondary team, with a certain gap compared to those top teams. Perhaps to refute this notion, Morocco took the initiative to challenge FIFA's number one team Brazil during this international break and once again proved itself with an outstanding performance.
In the 27th minute after the start of the game, Brazil attacked and passed the ball to Vinicius, who easily put the ball into an empty net. However, the referee signaled that Vinicius was offside before the match and the goal was invalidated! Morocco narrowly lost their lives on the goal, but just two minutes later they were given a valuable chance. Brazil made a mistake in passing at the back, and Bofar received the ball and turned and volleyed successfully, helping Morocco take the lead first, and the score became 1-0!
After the start of the second half, Brazil launched a fierce counterattack, not to be outdone. In the 67th minute, Paqueta passed the ball to Casemiro in front of the box, who got up and volleyed, although this shot was not threatening, Moroccan goalkeeper Bunu made another mistake, the ball slid through the goal, Brazil equalized! In the 79th minute, Morocco was once again threatened when Alla crossed and Shedira gave the ball lightly to Sabiri, who volleyed successfully to make it 2-1! With little time left in the game, Brazil could not tie the score again. In the end, they unexpectedly lost to Morocco, and the first warm-up match since the World Cup ended in defeat.
It is worth mentioning that the Moroccan team and Chinese football have a special history. As early as 1977, the Moroccan team was invited to participate in the "Great Wall Cup" held in China, playing a match with the Chinese national team. At that time, the two sides were tied in the 90-minute civil war, but in extra time, the Chinese team won 3-2 and successfully advanced to the next round. Five years later, Morocco was invited to play again, where they met China in the group stage. Although Morocco once led 3-1, in the final moments of the match, China scored two goals in a row thanks to Zhao Dayu's goal to draw 3-3. In the decades since, the two teams have not met again, so the match against Morocco is still an unbeaten record of 1 win and 1 draw for China.
However, Moroccan football has made rapid progress in recent years and has become a force to look up to in world football. At the same time, the rise of Chinese football will take time and still have a long way to go. However, the world of football is always full of variables, and we may as well hope that in the future, the Chinese team can also make a difference and bring more wonderful moments to football fans.
