Vinícius Júnior scored but Brazil couldn't grab the win — and only 24% of fans predicted the draw. Day 3 of the 2026 World Cup was full of surprises in Group C and total balance in Group B.
Yesterday's Results
In New York/New Jersey (East Rutherford), Brazil 1–1 Morocco (Group C) was the most anticipated match of the day — and it ended with fans divided and disappointed. Morocco struck first: Ismael Saibari opened the scoring at the 21st minute. Vinícius Júnior leveled for Brazil at 32', and that's how the first half ended. The score didn't change after that, and only 24% of the 17 predictors got the result right — a proper upset for those banking on a Brazilian win. According to UOL, the post-match analysis was widely discussed among fans.
Also in Group C, Haiti 0–1 Scotland in Boston (Foxborough) was a clean and controlled Scottish victory. John McGinn was the man of the moment, scoring at the 28th minute, and Scotland never looked back — the score at half-time was already 0–1.

In Group B, Qatar 1–1 Switzerland in the San Francisco Bay Area (Santa Clara) was a dramatic affair. Switzerland led through Breel Embolo at the 17th minute, and that's how it stood at half-time.

Only 20% of the 15 participants predicted the draw, making this the day's biggest surprise. According to the Estadão, the goals and highlights drew massive attention online.
