Brazil-Morocco share spoils in Big Apple showdown
Vinicius Jr cancelled out an Ismael Saibari strike in the first half as Brazil drew 1-1 against Morocco at the New York New Jersey stadium. Despite dominating the possession, the five-time champions were unable to break through the African champions.
Brazil are chasing a record sixth World Cup title, 24 years after last lifting the trophy, but this performance suggests there is a lot of work to be done by Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Scotland win a World Cup game after 36 years
Back on the biggest stage after a 28-year absence, Scotland made a dream start to their campaign with a 1-0 victory over minnows Haiti in Boston.
John McGinn's deflected strike in the 28th minute was enough on the night for Scotland. The result registered their first win at a World Cup since defeating Sweden 2-1 at Italia '90, as well as their first victory at any major tournament in 30 years-dating back to Euro 96.
