Brazil v Morocco LIVE: World Cup score and latest updates from thrilling clash

The whistle goes. Vinicius is still complaining to the referee, even appearing to signal for a card – which I thought was a yellow offence – as they head down the tunnel.

Back in a moment for more of this belter.

45+4’ – Vinicius wants a free kick after Hakimi clatters into him. The Morocco man wins the ball but his foot is also high. Nothing is given.

45+2’ – Paqueta, who has been anonymous for long spells, attempts an acrobatic finish that is not too far from coming off – Bono makes a good save. From the corner Raphinha swings it in, Marquinhos wants another after a deflection in the box, but it will be a goal kick.

The perimeter of the pitch here seems overly tight and a struggle for players taking corner kicks.

45’ – There will be four minutes added on.

44’ – Ibanez’s afternoon continues to be a struggle. Now he is booked for a cynical check on Diaz as Morocco sought to counter.

40’ – Another slight -relative – lull as the camera pans to Zohran Mamdani, the New York mayor, sitting in the posh seats wearing some sort of retro kit that wasn’t immediately obvious. And, no, it was not an Arsenal strip.

Vinicius Jr with a rocket to bail out a woeful Brazil so far. Bruno Guimaraes poked the ball into the space, the Real Madrid star checked his run, but once he was able to front up El Aynaoui, cutting inside, there was only one outcome. Bono stood no chance and an outpouring of relief here for the sea of yellow, as much as delight.

When Brazil are purring, you would expect Vinicius Jr to be integral, but with the chips down, that is a crucial moment for him, lifting his team and banishing the growing anxiety at this premature stage of the tournament. You could feel the tension inside the press box, with the Brazilian media unable, or unwilling, to hide their emotion at that equaliser, with roars heard both in the stands and here.

37’ – Casemiro, who has really strauggled, is the first name in the book for a lunge on El Aynaoui. He was fortunate not to see yellow earlier on for a foul on Diaz.

36’ – Even factoring in Brazil’s weaknesses and a lack of intensity in the centre, it’s hard to overstate how much higher the technical level of this match has been to anything that has preceded it.

But now how do Morocco respond to being pulled back?
