Did Morocco Just Shatter World Cup Records with a Lightning-Fast Goal Against Scotland?
Steve Clarke made two changes to his starting line-up for Scotland’s second Group C fixture at World Cup 2026.
Striker Lawrence Shankland dropped to the bench as the manager opted to play with one striker against Morocco rather than the two that played in Scotland‘s win against Haiti.
Winger Ben Gannon-Doak was also kept in reserve with a view to keeping things tight; as infectious as the mood was pre-match thanks to the prospect of Scotland getting out of the group for the first time ever in the Massachusetts sunshine, a draw would be a more than adequate result.
Saibari’s scorcher gave Morocco the lead after 71 seconds
It took just 71 seconds for Morocco to pull Clarke’s plans to pieces.
Bayern Munich-bound Ismael Saibari took advantage of a jagged Scotland back line and smashed the ball past Angus Gunn to claim his second wonderful goal of the tournament.
