Scotland lose to Morocco after early Saibari goal

Scotland lose to Morocco after early Saibari goal

FIFA

Scotland fell to a 1-0 defeat against Morocco in their second World Cup group game in Boston on Friday, undone by a goal inside the opening two minutes. Ismael Saibari smashed home a half-volley from close range past goalkeeper Angus Gunn, his second strike of the tournament after his earlier goal against Brazil. Scotland improved late on but failed to find an equaliser, leaving their hopes of reaching the knockout stage in the balance.
