World Cup Roundup: Scotland Outshines Brazil And Morocco, Socceroos Stun Türkiye

The first full match day of the 2026 FIFA World Cup had plenty of action, Brazil and Morocco battling to a draw, Scotland's first World Cup goal in 28 years, and the Socceroos pulling off a stunner.

Here is everything you might have missed from Day 3 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Qatar vs.

Switzerland Brazil vs.

Scotland Australia vs.

Türkiye BEST OF THE DAY Save Of The Day Brazil’s Alisson Becker made a clutch double save that kept the score level late in stoppage time against Morocco.

When Neil El Aynaoui tested him from distance with a low shot screaming toward Alisson's bottom-right corner, but after the Brazilian keeper spilled the initial effort, he recovered brilliantly in a split second, poke the loose ball out from the feet of Ayoube Amaimouni to preserve the draw.

Assist Of The Day Morocco opened the scoring against Brazil, but the assist to set up the finish is worth watching over and over again.

Surrounded by three Brazilian defenders, Brahim Diaz sent a through ball toward Ismael Saibari, who slipped past two more defenders before flicking the ball up and over Allison's head and into the back of the net for the first goal of the evening.

Goal Of The Day It didn't take long for Brazil to equalize against Morocco and Vinícius Júnior's effort was vintage Viní on display.

After receiving the ball from Bruno Guimarães near the edge of the box, Vinícius got past a Moroccan defender, shifted to his right, and sent a screamer off his right foot and into the back of the net.

Moment Of The Day Scotland rose to the top of Group C and survived late pressure from Haiti as the Scots secured a 1-0 victory in their first World Cup appearance in 28 years.

While it wasn't the most convincing performance for Scotland, it was an emotional affair for fans of Scotland in the stands and at home.

The build-up for Scotland's goal started when Grant Hanley launched a long ball to Che Adams, who controlled it beautifully before laying it off to Ben Gannon-Doak.

Doak beat his man down the right and fired a low cross into the box.

Hatian goalkeeper Johny Placide pushed the ball away from goal, but the ball fell straight to John McGinn, who drilled a left-footed effort into the back of the net.

Scotland still has a lot to figure out despite the result, but for now, the Scotland faithful are loving it.
