Neymar out with ankle injury as Brazil face Morocco; US beats Paraguay 5‑0
Brazil will face Morocco without Neymar due to an ankle injury, while the United States posted a 5‑0 win over Paraguay in their opening game to boost campaign. Neymar’s injury forced Brazil’s coach to reshuffle the lineup and give chances to younger talent.
Morocco capitalized on Brazil’s defensive gaps to lead 2‑1 at halftime. The US broke down Paraguay with swift attacks, scoring five goals with one player netting a hat‑trick.
The outcomes will prompt both sides to adjust tactics for the next round.
