Ismael Saibari’s early strike handed Morocco a 1-0 win over Scotland in a World Cup clash that was tighter than the scoreline suggests, setting up a meeting with Canada on 4 July 2026. The Group G encounter at Hampden Park was a gritty, low-scoring affair where Morocco’s discipline and clinical edge ultimately proved the difference.
