Brazil and Morocco played to a 0-0 draw in their opening match of the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Monday. The highly anticipated contest, held in Australia and New Zealand, failed to produce any goals despite several promising attacks from both sides. Brazil’s Marta, a six-time world player of the year, made her sixth World Cup appearance, becoming the first player – male or female – to achieve this milestone. Morocco proved a resilient opponent, effectively defending against Brazil’s offensive efforts and posing threats on the counter-attack. The result leaves both teams with one point in Group H, alongside Colombia and Germany. Both sides will seek their first win in their upcoming group stage matches.
