Match Summary
Morocco made a flying start and never let it slip, beating Scotland 1-0 at the Boston Stadium to take control of their Group C campaign. The decisive moment arrived after just 70 seconds. Brahim Díaz floated a clever ball in behind the Scotland defence, and Ismael Saibari raced onto it before taking a touch and firing superbly past Angus Gunn at the far post for his second goal in as many games. The early strike stunned a packed crowd of Scotland fans and set the tone for the night.
Scotland struggled to respond in the first half as Morocco controlled possession and looked the more dangerous side. Saibari almost doubled the lead soon after the restart, rattling the bar with a shot from inside the box, but Scotland survived. Steve Clarke's men grew into the game in the second half and threw bodies forward, with the Tartan Army roaring them on, but they could not find a way through a disciplined Moroccan defence.
Scotland's frustration grew late on. Both Scott McTominay and John McGinn went down in the Morocco box appealing for penalties, and a late Lyndon Dykes header drifted wide as the chances slipped away. Morocco stood firm to claim a vital three points. The defeat leaves Scotland's hopes of reaching the knockout rounds for the first time hanging in the balance ahead of their final group game against Brazil, while Morocco turn their attention to a clash with Haiti.
