A 20-Year First: No One Had Done This Against Brazil

Morocco not only avoided defeat against Brazil but arguably came closer to securing a victory. The World Cup clash between the two nations ended in a 1-1 draw, with both goals scored within the first half-hour. Interestingly, statistics from the match at MetLife Stadium reveal that the African side registered 14 shots on Alisson Becker's goal, while Vinicius Junior and his teammates managed a total of 12.

This marks the first time in 20 years that an opponent has outshot Brazil in a direct World Cup encounter. The last team to achieve this feat was Zinedine Zidane's France in 2006. In that quarter-final match, played on July 1st in Frankfurt, the 'Seleção' were eliminated by the eventual finalists after a 1-0 defeat, courtesy of a Thierry Henry goal.

In that particular showdown, the French side recorded 15 shots on goal compared to the South Americans' 13.

Following that match, Brazil played 22 consecutive World Cup games where they consistently dominated this metric, until their recent fixture against Morocco.
