⚽️    In the 2nd minute, Ismael Saibari netted a spectacular goal (only 71 seconds in) against Scotland. With a beautiful assist from Brahim Díaz, who delivered a lovely pass down the right side, this quick goal marks the fastest of the 2026 tournament to date. Saibari unleashed a powerful shot past Gunn, finding the top-left corner for his second goal in as many matches!

Stats BEFORE the game

 



 

The only previous encounter between Scotland and Morocco dates back to the group stage of the 1998 World Cup, where Morocco triumphed 3-0, marking its largest victory in the tournament to date.

Morocco has lost just one of its last six group stage matches in the World Cup against European teams (2 wins, 3 draws), with that lone defeat being a 1-0 loss to Portugal in 2018.

Following their 1-0 victory over Haiti, Scotland aims to secure back-to-back wins in a single edition of a major international tournament for the first time in their history; they have never achieved more than one win in a single tournament.

Morocco remains unbeaten in its last five group stage matches in the World Cup (2 wins, 3 draws), matching the best streak ever for an African nation, previously set by Cameroon (who went unbeaten for five matches between 1982 and 1990) and Senegal (from 2002 to 2018).
