Sofiane Boufal and Abdelhamid Sabiri scored to give Morocco a 2-1 victory in a friendly match against Brazil in Tangier on Saturday, earning their first victory ever against the five-times World Cup champions.
Boufal swiveled to score Morocco's first with a strike from inside the box in the 29th minute, but Casemiro netted the equaliser in the 67th minute, thanks to a schoolboy mistake by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
However, the locals hit back 12 minutes later with substitute Abdelhamid Sabiri, who took down a lost ball inside the Brazilian box and unleashed an unstoppable strike which bounced off the crossbar into the net.
