Morocco’s Young Lions Aim to Tame Brazil in U20 World Cup Showdown

The Atlas Lions will cross swords with Brazil tonight. A duel with the taste of revenge. In 2005, Morocco had narrowly lost the third-place match against the Brazilians (2-1). Mohamed Ouahbi has already found the recipe. "We must approach the match against Brazil with the same mindset as the one displayed against Spain," he stressed during the pre-match press conference. He also invited his protégés to cultivate humility.

"In the end, it’s just three points. The road is still long. We must remain humble," he told them after the previous match. A draw would be enough for Morocco to advance to the second round. But the task will not be easy, as Brazil, renowned for its technicality and experience, will seek to win the match after the draw against Mexico (2-2).

The match between Morocco and Brazil will take place this Thursday at midnight Moroccan time (1am in France and Belgium) on the pitch of the Julio Martínez Prádanos National Stadium in Santiago. This match can be followed live on the beIN Sports, FIFA+ and Arryadia TNT channels.
