At the 2026 World Cup Group C fixture staged at Boston Stadium (Gillette Stadium) in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Morocco edged Scotland 1-0, and the match’s only goal arrived almost immediately. After just about 71 seconds, Ismael Saibari latched onto a through ball from Brahim Díaz, took a calm touch and fired into the far corner. The strike, officially logged in the 2nd minute, was the fastest goal of the tournament so far and the quickest Morocco have ever scored at a World Cup. Scotland pushed hard in response, with Scott McTominay among those threatening, but they could not find a way past and slipped to defeat.
The win moved Morocco to four points from two games, sitting near the top of Group C and firmly on course for the knockout rounds, while Scotland were left facing an uphill battle. Morocco close their group campaign against Haiti in Atlanta, while Scotland take on a formidable Brazil.
