FIFA World Cup 2026 Day 3 Highlights: Vinicius Jr rescued a point for Brazil in their crucial Group C clash against Morocco, cancelling out Ismael Saibari‘s first-half strike at the New York New Jersey Stadium. Meanwhile, Scotland made a dream return to the World Cup, edging out Haiti thanks to a John McGinn goal in Boston. In Group B, Switzerland also had to settle for a point against Qatar, who equalised deep into stoppage time following a Miro Muheim own goal at the San Francisco Bay Stadium.

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
