Morocco landed the first punch at 20'15'', Saibari finishing with Diaz credited for the assist as the visitors moved 0-1 ahead. Brazil replied at 31'23'', when Vinicius Junior brought the game back to 1-1 from a Bruno Guimaraes assist.
The rest of the first half stayed edgy. 36'44'' brought a yellow card for Casemiro, and Roger Ibanez followed into the book at 42'50'' as Brazil tried to halt Morocco's breaks.
Brazil reshuffled at the interval, with Casemiro replaced by Fabinho and Ibanez making way for Danilo at 45'00''. Carlo Ancelotti then turned again just after the hour, sending on Matheus Cunha for Lucas Paqueta (60'54'') and Luiz Henrique for Igor Thiago (60'55'').
Walid Regragui answered with changes of his own - Azzedine Ounahi and Diaz came off for Samir El Mourabet (64'17'') and Chemsdine Talbi (64'44'') - but the second-half summary stayed goalless to the final whistle, under referee Slavko Vincic at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford.
