The referee correctly stopped play and awarded Brazil the free kick after Morocco #2 made a lunging challenge on Brazil #7. However, looking at the frames, the challenge carried enough force and lack of control to be classified as reckless under Law 12 — meaning it required an automatic yellow card to accompany the foul. It is not severe enough for a straight red card (no dangerously raised studs, genuine attempt at the ball), but the recklessness threshold — where a player disregards the risk to their opponent — is clearly met. The referee got the foul right but missed the mandatory caution, which at a FIFA World Cup, where the strictest IFAB interpretation is applied, should have been shown without hesitation.
