Morocco grabbed their first win of the 2026 World Cup and currently hold sole possession of first place of Group-C.

Morocco would score in just the second minute, never looking back.

Ismael Saibari would put the Moroccans ahead with a rocket of a strike.

For the remainder of the half, Morocco would continue to hold a majority of the possession.

Outshooting the Scots five to two and taking their 1-0 lead into the locker room

Early in the second half it seemed Scotland may have gotten a golden opportunity after a supposed foul in the box.

But referee Ilgiz Tantashev was not impressed.

In the 52nd minute, a Moroccan corner saw Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn make a spectacular save to keep the deficit at one.

The score would remain stuck at 1-0 in favor of Morocco until the full-time whistle sounded.

Morocco and Scotland will both play their final at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.

Scotland is set to match off against Brazil.

Morocco will face off against Haiti.
