This was more like the Brazil most football fans were expecting to see at France 98, strutting like peacocks on the sport's biggest stage.
Lifted by the good start, Brazil stroked the ball around and created a number of chances - Ronaldo very nearly latched onto a Roberto Carlos cross and Bebeto was unlucky not to score when Moroccan goalkeeper Benzekri came out of his penalty area to make a challenge.

 Soccer News, June 29, 1998
Brazil's four goals were, in the end, no more than they deserved but one was left with the unavoidable feeling that they still had more to offer after a performance that swung like a pendulum between what was brilliant and what was ordinary.
Yet Brazil struggled to find their rhythm in the opening quarter when Chile started very impressively and one was left wondering just what type of Brazilian performance Chile might have provoked had they played with the same sense of belief and zest for 90 minutes.
By then Brazil had three goals in the bag and the relaxation that swept through the team after their initial tardiness led to some flowing football with the admirable Dunga and the smooth Rivaldo at the heart of most things that were good.
